MINI GOLF CHIDLOW

Set in the Darling Range east of Perth, Lion Mill Vineyards is planted with vines on land selected in the 1870s. Initially part of an important timber milling area, the region later became a centre of fruit growing and small farming.

The Lion Mill cellar door looks out over the vineyards on this picturesque property.

Lion Mill Vineyards is located on the northern side of a gently sloping valley on Charlotte Brook, an upper tributary of Jane Brook. The soils are those typical of the Perth Hills Geographical Indication: loam, gravelly loam and lateritic gravels.

The elevation - about 300 metres, the cold winters and the warm dry summers provide conditions that are well suited to the production of quality fruit displaying regional characteristics.

The Red Dirt Arts Studio displays Joel Smoker's ceramics, drawings and photographs and is open to the public by appointment. Joel's Ceramics are represented in the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria as well as many other public and private collections. Joel's studio is located in the hills east of Perth and a visit there can be a rewarding afternoon's drive. Joel is also an accomplished musician and is available for performances.
