Just came back from a meeting at the well manicured Fini Olive property which is now open for tastings.I stopped in at Caladenia Mini Golf and was warmly placed in front of their wood fired heater. Their chips are the best that I have eaten. Can you find me anyone else in the Moore River region that sells the best chips? I’ll write about their freshly prepared sausage rolls that the local farmers rave about, next time.

More to see
July 9th, 2010 by Rona ChieraWhen heading up to Fini Olives, be sure to call into Caladenia Mini Golf and Le Cafe as you will pass Caladenia Mini Golf on your way there. What you see here at Caladenia Mini Golf is the story of a passionate landscape gardener Lorraine who has created her dream business. I asked her who vacuums her fairways and was surprised at knowing her husband Wayne gets up extra early every morning before heading off to work himself. That was one of the best stories of aiming for excellence for customer satisfaction that I have heard in a long time. May their premises be filled with all your fun moments in
golfing. Moore River region, just one hour north of Perth.

Got a call that Fini Olives is now open. My first contact with Fini Olives was with Rayana. Her enthusiam was A1 and what I love to hear is ” how did you hear about us”. One of the most important questions they could ask. An advert in the Sun City News. I absolutely loved my trip to Fini Olives and my kids devoured the olive oil tasting plates and we walked away loaded with caps, tshirts and bottles of Fini Olive oil. Fini oozes the buy local story and backs this up vigoursly when you walk into their cellar. Get out there today. Open from Fridays to Tuesdays.

Moore River region tourism member
June 15th, 2010 by Rona ChieraMany people ask what are the benefits of becoming a member of the Gingin Coast Tourism Association? YOU asked for it, so here is why I have personally become a member. I have stopped at just 7 reasons-1) I work alongside like minded individuals 2) Work towards the same goals as other members on improving the face of tourism in our region 3) I get to have an opinion on tourism in our region and not just sit on the sideline and winge when things go wrong 4) My customers are benefiting from me being a tourism member as I am continually kept up to date with the trends in tourism. 5) Together we are strengthening our regions profile 6) Our local residents will see the benefits throughout our region of being employed in the tourism industry as the traffic increases up the Indian Ocean Drive. Increases in tourism employment will have a positive flow on effect in our community. 7) Being a GCTA Inc member provides an effective and positive exchange of information at all levels and I believe my membership to GCTA Inc is an investment in ME, YOU and your business and for the future of our region. Together we are building a strong foundation. With me on your team, Rona Chiera, I am contributing with raw, uneducated talent. But my passion for my region and tourism speaks louder and my fellow members feel it! What more could I want? YOU on my team…
