Join us for a midweek jaunt that combines great coffee, hearty pub fare, and one of the Perth Hills’ most scenic descents. On Tuesday, 17th June, we’re inviting members to   rev up their cats and head east for a relaxed morning tea at Café Mojo in Mundaring, followed by lunch at the historic Kalamunda Hotel and a winding farewell via the famous Zig Zag Scenic Drive.

The Plan (Flexible, Just Like Our Suspensions)

We’ll each make our way independently to Café Mojo, located at 16 Craig Street, Mundaring. The easiest approach is via Great Eastern Highway, turning right into Nichol Street as you pass through Mundaring’s town centre, then the first exit at the roundabout onto Craig Street. Parking will be reserved out front, with overflow available just down the laneway.

Meet there from 10:00am, where our gracious hostess Jonene and her team will be ready with excellent coffee, morning tea, and a relaxed country vibe. There’s indoor and outdoor seating—and even a sandpit and toys for any grandkids (or playful adults) in tow.

Around 11:00 to 11:30am, we’ll saddle up and cruise back down Great Eastern Highway to Greenmount Hill, where we’ll veer left onto Scott Street. From there, enjoy a gentle backroads drive through Helena Valley, Ridgehill Road, Gooseberry Hill and finally Railway Road into Kalamunda. We’ll provide a turn-by-turn route on the day, but if you prefer to blaze your own trail, Google Maps is your co-pilot.

Lunch is booked for 12:30pm at the Kalamunda Hotel (under “Michele, Jag Club”). You can choose from the main, seniors, or daily menu. There’s ample parking either behind the pub (Coles carpark) or across the road near the Zig Zag Cultural Centre.

After lunch—and perhaps a browse through the Kalamunda Historical Village—we’ll head to the Zig Zag Scenic Drive, departing around 2:00 to 2:30pm. The route takes us gently (but twistily) back to the plains, offering stunning views and a fun descent. Please take it easy—graceful cats, not racing leopards.

Once we hit the bottom, you’re free to make your own way home, hopefully with a full belly and a satisfied smile. Spots are limited to 25, so please register early to secure your place. Rain or shine, the drive goes on—though we’re certainly hoping for a bit more shine.

Saturday 13th Sept 2025 From 6-30pm to11-30pm

The Presentation Dinner starts with pre-dinner drinks at 6-30pm and moves into dinner at 7-15pm. From 7-15pm the Dj takes over as M/C and later moves into DJ mode. Taking dancing and the good times up to 11-30pm.

Event Order

6:30PM: Kick off the evening with complimentary pre-dinner drinks. Sip on your choice of wine, beer, or a soft drink while catching up with fellow Jaguar enthusiasts. Just don’t talk too much about your latest engine overhaul – save some stories for later!

7:15 PM: Time to feast! Start with a gourmet entrée of grilled gold band snapper with a potato, hazelnut, and celery salad, drizzled with red pepper oil. 

7:45 PM: Main course time! Sink your teeth into a 200-gram roast sirloin of beef with field mushrooms, vine tomatoes, duck fat potatoes, and pan jus.

The alternative drop for those who prefer their dinner with a bit of a kick, we’ve got parmesan chicken breast, creamed potatoes, prociutto wrapped carrots and zucchini. It’s like a culinary choose-your-own-adventure!

8:45 PM: Save room for dessert – a decadent lemon and lime cheesecake. Calories don’t count at events, right?

9:15 PM: And now, the moment we've all been waiting for – the prestigious JCCWA trophy presentations! Applaud, cheer, and maybe even shed a tear (of joy, of course) as we honour the best of the best.

10:00 - 11:30 PM: Time to let loose! Our DJ will keep the dance floor buzzing with a mix of humour, music, and beats that will have you swinging the night away.

Dress Code: Gentlemen, it’s jackets for you. Ladies, break out the cocktail attire. We’re aiming for classy because why not look fabulous? The optional dress theme is Hollywood Oscar Glamour- Think Nicole Kidman and Leonardo DiCaprio with a twist, elegant enough to sip champagne, bold enough to steal the spotlight.

Registration: This is the JCCWA’s premier event for 2024, and we want YOU to join the fun. We’ve kept the price affordable at $85 per person for members and partners, and $100 for guests. But hurry – spaces are limited, and we don’t want you to miss out on the fun.

Secure your spot now and prepare for an unforgettable evening of laughter, dancing, and celebration. See you there!
