WA’s largest lavender farm is reborn as Lavender Estate

Plus a lovely little historical hike through Roleystone, and more.

October 02, 2025

As someone who loves going to the movies to you know, watch movies, I for one am incredibly excited to hear we’re getting a new IMAX screen after over 20 years without one! This news, following on from watching this year’s best movie last week (One Battle After Another if you were wondering), has me feeling like the movies. Are. Back!

For those more outdoors-inclined, the state’s biggest Lavender Farm has been reborn as a delightful day trip destination in Yanchep, featuring everything from farm walks and distillation demonstrations to picnic-style dining on wide-open lawns and a big brunch menu. It’s opening today.

Find out more, along with Inglewood’s new neighbourhood bar and a historic walking trail in Roleystone, below:
