East Perth

This inner city suburb hugs Claise Brook and Claisebrook Cove – waterways that originally serviced the city’s industrial pursuits. A compact pocket of land that was once home to the power station, gasworks, brickworks, railway yard, engine sheds and colonial cemetery. Today, East Perth is an eclectic mix of light industry, commercial offices, converted warehouses, townhouses, hotels, cafés and shops.

If you’re talking hidden gems, this is the shiniest of them all. Moonshiny, even! (Sorry.) It’s not everyday you uncover a distillery tucked away in a railway-sided street amongst warehouses and workshops. Whipper Snapper Distillery make premium small-batch moonshine and whiskey from all-Australian ingredients. Their story started with two bomber pilots during WWII: an American who shared a recipe with an Australian. Fifty years of backshed distilling later, veteran Vic shared both his memoirs and moonshine expertise with a young neighbour Al – one of the trio of whipper snappers who further refined the recipes that you can sample and purchase today. Open daily for tastings and coffee. Also ask about their distillery tours and whiskey workshops.
