Stopover at Mandurah - Perth Summer 2013

Following our Alcoa tour, we headed for Mandurah for lunch.  However, when we arrived at Mandurah Terrace, we found to our disappointment that the renowned Miami Bakehouse has shifted.  Our children particularly like the beef pies that the cafe-style eatery serves.  After checking at the Mandurah Visitor Centre, I discovered that it has shifted further south to Falcon along the Old Coast Road.

Jetty next to the former Miami Bakehouse locale.

Disappointed, the children decided to amuse themselves at the town centre.

Taking into consideration that we still have to visit MacNuts by 3 pm, we decided against searching for the new location.  To get to MacNuts, head north from Mandurah along Kwinana Freeway and exit Mundijong Road.  Then turn right at the first cross junction into St Albans and look for Doghill Road.  It is adviseable to drop the owners a email to check if they are open for the day.  According to them, they are usually open on weekends.  However, as it was close to Christmas, they were opened on the day we visited, which was Wednesday.

With some time in hand and suffering from the heatwave, we decided to head for Serpentine Falls.  To get to Serpentine Falls, travel east along Mundijong Road towards South Western Highway.  At the junction, turn right and travel about 7 km and look for the sign to the falls.

While we were disappointed that the original Miami Bakehouse has re-located, thre was a happy ending as we managed to find a branch near Fremantle along Canning Highway.
