Ironstone Gully Falls
If you are heading south east towards Donnybrook along Goodwood Road, it's worth a stop at the picturesque Ironstone Gully Falls picnic area. In the wet season, the stream, having followed a course through one of the state's many fine jarrah forests, crosses under the road and gently rambles over a series of rapids. The Falls drop over a ledge of nine metres. From August to October the surrounding countryside abounds with a stunning display of WA wildflowers.
Stirling Estate Equestrian Centre
Stirling Estate Equestrian Centre is a centre for Excellence in Horse and Rider education, Equine Bodywork Therapies, Hoof Care and Rehabilitation.
Our riding school caters for riders of all ages and levels, specialising in beginners. Come and ride one of our beautiful horses or ponies and experience riding from the heart. Our equines are extremely well cared for and in top condition - we don't just say our ponies ares ound, we know they are. Their hooves are perfectly trimmed on a regular basis and they have their bodies fine tuned with JENT just as regularly.
Although our riding lessons are based on classical dressage techniques, the focus of the lesson is on enjoyment, reading and communicating with the horse. The lightness you will learn to ride with reflects through to the horse who will reward you with an enjoyable ride and the chance to learn new riding skills. Come and enjoy lessons in flatwork (dressage), games, agility, work on the lunge (leadline) and jumping as well as cross country for those who are more skilled.
