Avon Tourism will launch WA’s first Motorcycle Friendly region – the Avon Valley – on Sunday, April 23.
The Avon Valley region flows along winding roads north-west from Beverley through to New Norcia, taking in the country hospitality of York, Northam, Toodyay, Chittering, Bindoon, Victoria Plains and Goomalling.
The Shires will be linked with “Avon Valley Region” branded road signage, designed to complement their existing signage, along with “Experience the Avon Valley on Two Wheels” noticeboards at key visitor information points.
The regional map, including fuel outlet and rest stop locations, will be made available to riders as a pocketsize brochure and also online.
It will feature contact numbers for information, towing and assistance, plus tips and techniques for riding on country roads.
Another element will be “What’s Around The Corner?” asking riders to think in a different way about rural riding and reminding them to call 138 138 to report unsafe roads.
