Gidgegannup is situated in the hills just east of the Perth metropolitan area. The River Avon flows through a deep gorge to the north-west of Gidge. The landscape consists mainly of pastures and forests where creeks have cut spectacular valleys. In spring there is an abundance of wildflowers. Both flora and fauna are preserved in several national and regional parks and reserves.


You can enjoy Gidgegannup's natural beauty by taking the Wildflower Drive and stop at one or more of the parks and reserves for a walk. Or you can ride your horse on the bridle trails in the Tilden Park area.
