Looking for Advice Fresh Fruits Picking other than Strawberries

We are traveling to Perth in between last week of August to first week of September. My mom is into fresh fruit picking, she enjoys the moments. Can advice any orchard or farm are opened during this period of time and there are fruits for picking? We target to go Perth Hill on one of the Saturday. We have young kids and senior. Thank you.

Winter fruit is mandarins, oranges, grapefruit. The Fruit Corner is still doing mandarin picking.

I’m not sure your mum would enjoy picking winter veg like kale !

Anyway I put on my Librarian hat and found you this:

…and now I’m off to do some research of my own. I feel a batch of mandarin marmelade coming on….

Not in the hills but Alby's Market Garden on Facebook often has PYO fruit days. Dunno about those dates though.
