Editor’s Letter

Discover endless spots to explore

The BunGeo region comes to life in so many spectacular ways as the seasons evolve from cool and cosy winters, green and blossoming springs, brilliant glowing summers, to the falling golden leaves of autumn. Each season reflects a new chapter – creating something fresh to be discovered and the chance for new memories to be made each time you return.

As you flick through the pages of FOUND Magazine, it’ll uncover world-class nature escapes and fresh-air activities, incredible producers with a ubiquitous “locally sourced” ethos, art and culture that flood the streets with vibrancy and rich cultural texture, plus serene spots to stay a while.

Put the latest events on your radar as Lost & Found Festival, Cinefest Oz and a suite of events re-emerge to light up the streets of the region with food, wine, and fantastic festivities.

If you’re captivated by art and culture, Beverly Ligman shares how acclaimed Aboriginal artist Sandra Hill opens a poignant exhibition at the Balingup Packing Shed that reflects deeply on the past in an effort to move forward.

While over in the wine world the Geographe Wine Show celebrates its 20th year, while Donnybrook, one of the Geographe Wine Region’s most hidden gems, flourishes with new cellar doors, charming old ones, and a growing reputation for producing alternative varietals.

Make sure you bring your boat, bike, and kayak on your next BunGeo adventure as we recommend the best brilliant blue waterways and glimmering beaches to explore. The spectacular Lake Kepwari and Potters Gorge are two highlights that scratch the surface of your potential adventure. Get to know the epic mountain bike tracks worth riding and read all about the abundance of forest trails found all around the region.

This is just a taste of what you could experience on your next BunGeo stay. Whatever you choose for your time in the region, we can guarantee the faces and places will be authentic and the opportunities to explore, endless.

Enjoy, Tori
