Welcome to the Commonage Road TrailThere’s Nothing Common about Commonage!
Commonage Road is just 3 minutes’ drive from the center of Dunsborough, a popular tourist town in the southwest region of WA. Although only 10 kilometers long, it offers a wide range of wonderful places to visit, views to admire and locals to meet; think of this trail as an enjoyable and convenient adventure! From hand-made items to art, food, beer and wine, there is something for everyone.
One thing you’ll notice when you travel our road and its surrounds is that we all have something in ‘Common’ (excuse the pun) – we are down-to-earth businesses who believe in offering genuine customer service and premium quality products.
You can start your journey at either end of the trail… no matter where you begin, you’ll have memorable time. It’s a winding road bordered by beautiful native bush and offering sweeping views of Geographe Bay from the top of the hill.
We hope to see you soon.
With warm regards from all of us on the Commonage Trail.
