Some time ago we walked the Jenna Biddi Yorga along Blackwall Reach from Point Walter to Bicton Baths continuing on along the river to Wauhop Road at Jerrat Drive. We finally managed to complete this section of the river by walking from The Left Bank Cafe on Riverside Road in East Fremantle back to Wauhop Road. We parked at The Left Bank on Riverside Road and completed two loops from there. The Left Bank is the old Boat Builder's House and features on the East Fremantle He

Lesmurdie Falls is a Perth favourite and it easy to see why. With walking trails ranging from easy to more challenging combined with a magnificent waterfall and stunning views across the Perth Coastal Plain this is a great place to spend a day out and about. LESMURDIE FALLS PICNIC AREA This area has picnic benches and toilet facilities and is at the main car park off Falls Road. There is also a large information board and map detailing the different walking tracks and also

This interpretive trail follows Piesse Brook in Kalamunda National Park to Rocky Pool before returning the same way, a round trip of 3.4 km taking around an hour all up. Rocky Pool is a great place to stop off and enjoy the moment, have a trail snack or if the water is low in summer perhaps even a paddle. Starting from Schipp Road off Hummerston Road in Piesse Brook this trail follows Schipp Road which is a wide, mostly compacted dirt trail. Piesse Brook is evident at the b

The Railway Reserves Heritage Trail loops between Bellevue and Mt Helena with both a northern and southern trail. While previously we have walked the northern trail notably within John Forrest National Park and through the Swan View Tunnel we only recently discovered the southern trail exists and it is well worth a visit! We started at Darlington at Little Nook Cafe directly opposite the trail which is a great place for a drink and a meal either end of your walk. The pict

These kid friendly falls are very easy to access as they are just metres from Toodyay Road with the turnoff opposite the Noble Falls Tavern. The down side of the falls being so easy to access is that it can be very crowded especially in Spring so head out early or have a back up plan (Lake Leschanaultia is only 15 minutes away) and FR Berry Reserve is also close by. This time we visited in July after a wet June so there was plenty of water flowing over the falls. Whether

This gem of a park is hidden around the freeway interchanges in Perth. From Elizabeth Quay Train Station it is about a 20 minute walk along Mounts Bay Road. After passing under the freeway you will see the motorcycle parking bays. The safest option, particularly if you have young children is to stay on this side of Mounts Bay Road and follow the path which seems to head for the freeway but actually comes out at an underpass below the exit ramp and leads straight into John

After an early start to enjoy a delicious breakfast at Mason and Bird Cafe in Kalamunda our group set off to explore Whistlepipe Gully in Mundy Regional Park. We parked at the end of Orange Valley Road which is a residential cul de sac so parking is limited. An alternative start point is the car park at the bottom of the gully on Lewis Road.

BELLS RAPIDS Bells Rapids is a favourite place for Perth people to go hiking and no wonder. There is plenty of parking available although best to get there early (before 10) on a sunny weekend as the bays are not marked and it can be a bit of a free for all. There is a toilet block and a few benches but no picnic or barbecue facilities. Lots of families set up their own chairs and barbecue (fire bans permitting) next to the car park and settle in for the day. This is a fa

John Forrest National Park was established in 1900 and has been a popular picnic and walking spot ever since. There are large picnic areas with lots of tables scattered around the main area near the car parks. There are plenty of barbecues available and there are bigger gazebos for large groups. There is a centrally located toilet block opposite the Ranger's office. There is also a tavern there. The picnic benches are in heavy demand from about 11am onwards - before th
