The Southern Forests & Valleys region is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Located in the heart of Australia’s South West, the region stretches from Balingup to Walpole, Nannup to Boyup Brook and encompasses Bridgetown, Pemberton, Greenbushes, Manjimup and Northcliffe.

The Southern Forests & Valleys region is undiscovered. We have unique nature and amazing adventure, we have an abundance of art, heritage and culture and we are the food bowl of the South West.

Our region is home to some of the most beautiful natural landscapes and charming small towns.

Our region is a world away from the everyday.
