Toodyay is situated inland in the picturesque Avon Valley region, only 80km North-East of Perth. The town's architecture reflects it's colonial and convict past, while the many nature reserves become ablaze with colour with magnificent displays of wildflowers during the wildflower season (August to November).
Overlooking the town, Pelham Lookout is a peaceful place to observe the stars. There are a number of walk tracks from the lookout that you could explore and find additional places to admire the sky. Pelham lookout also has parking and toilet facilities. It can be a magical experience watching the stars near the Avon River, where the sky meets the water. Year round pools such as Millard's Pool and Red Bank Pool along the Bilya Walk Track are locations where you can admire both the sky and the river.
