Life is short, so eat truffles. If you're currently in lockdown or as free as a bird, you can enjoy freshly harvested black truffles in the comfort of your own home. Located in the heart of Australian truffle country in Manjimup in Western Australia's south west, Australian Truffle Traders ships nuggets of 'black gold' to some of the world's best restaurants, and you can enjoy them too.

The first of its kind in Australia, a new online and interactive wine tourism guide called The Wine Adventurer has been published designed to inspire and inform international and domestic visitors to help them plan their trips into WA’s wine regions. Eight wine regions are featured in the e-brochure that includes each region’s unique wine tourism experiences and hero wine varieties.
