Northam, WA

Situated just over one hours drive from Perth, Northam sits astride the Avon River in the heart of the Avon Valley. It is the largest inland town in Western Australia and
the commercial centre for the rich surrounding farming district.

From its humble beginnings in 1836 as a relatively small agricultural village, Northam became the jumping off point in 1890s for prospectors pursuing their dreams of fabulous wealth in the Goldfields.

If history is your interest, Northam offers a rich collection of historic buildings and sites, second only to Fremantle in number.
