Next Stop Armadale – step out and discover places of interest within the area.
To assist with the promotion of the history of the Jull St Mall the City of Armadale has developed a new walk trail, Next Stop Armadale, in collaboration with Two Feet and a Heartbeat.
City of Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones said the two hour guided tour includes commentary about the arrival of the first settlers and landowners, famous convicts of the area and anecdotal information on diverse characters from Armadale’s past.
"The City is very fortunate to have a number of volunteer tour guides, who are very passionate about showcasing the wonderful places of interest within the city centre.
"The tours will commence at the Armadale Visitor Centre where participants will be welcomed by their tour guide and then taken on an interesting journey.
"As the tour winds its way through some interesting landmarks, our friendly local tour guides will share with you the area’s history, heritage, culture and rich past before moving forward to explore the exciting developments happening right now.
"Along the way, participants will visit places such as Armadale District Hall, St Matthews Church, History House Museum, the beautiful Minnawarra Park and of course the Jull St Mall," said Mayor Zelones.
The walk tours will be conducted in small groups, however larger groups can also be catered for if required.
The ‘Next Stop Armadale’ tour will conclude in the Jull St Mall with a well-deserved relaxing morning tea at participating cafes, such as the Dome.
After the tour, stay and enjoy the many activities that Armadale has to offer – whether it’s shopping, dining or outdoor pursuits; there is something for everyone.
Tours will run regardless of weather conditions and depart daily; except public holidays commencing at 9am. Bookings are essential.
