1. Kalamunda Mountain Bike Circuit

Reviewed By SwiftoWA - Perth, Australia
I live just over an hour away from the circuit and this is the first time I had been. I went with my wife and a friend. We parked at the Camel farm. Great location, easy parking, there's a cafe and a bike shop. You can hire bikes, buy spares and they will help with repairs (as they did with us!) . We are beginners, we enjoyed the green trails and the blue. My wife is new to MTB and thought the Blue were the top end of her limit. There are hours of trails, well signposted in general although some of the maps on site are a bit vague, so keep Google Maps handy! We did 25km across a few hours and it was fantastic. I would really recommend to all comers and families. If you are comfortable with some trail riding (unsealed) and a single track) you will love it. If you are not, you will also love it.
2. Calamunnda Camel Farm
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
Camel treks and rides are available all year round or take a stroll through the forest. These activities evoke the soothing effects of the Australian bush, which never fails to work its relaxing magic, whether seen from the back of a camel or on foot. Corporate facilities available for hire for day events, workshops, family events, outdoors experiences or just a great day out. Light refreshments at our Kiosk & BBQ facilities available.

Best place if you would like to ride a camel in the jungle. (Bit expensive though) Staff was very friendly and holds loads of knowledge about what they are doing. Camels were super great friendly and obedient. I had my 7 months old baby with me riding the camel. Toilets are available Keep you go pro with you as riding a camel In the jungle means alot of adventure Loads and loads of flies which is a bit irritating. Have your net cap on and u can enjoy the fullest Little farm is also available there consisting of coockatoo, EMU, hens , ducks etc. staff allow you yo feed EMU.
3. Lesmurdie Falls

With the abundance of recent rain the Falls are currently at their best. Walking in from the lower car park affords the glorious tranquility of winter bushland permeated with the music of the rushing stream and a symphony of birdsong. On a fabulously sunny Friday there were plenty of visitors, but well behaved and spread out enough to not intrude on plentiful moments of solitude. Dogs on leashes caused no problems. I would rate even the easiest of the walks just in to the base of the Falls as a medium degree of difficulty due to muddy patches, loose gravel, tree roots etc which require careful navigation at times for elderly or compromised walkers, and close access at the base requires agility and clambering over rocks way beyond my husband's capabilities. Absolutely worth the effort! We drove to the top carpark to take the much easier stroll to the lookouts.

Well worth a few hours visiting this Village - a trip back to yesterday, especially the old steam train, the old train station, and the old school classroom - brilliant!
5. Lake Leschenaultia

Reviewed By paulbW5193FP - Perth, Australia
Beautiful body of water, very clear and perfect for kayaking and swimming. Plentiful free parking,easy water access, family area and a pontoon just off the Beach. There are shaded picnic areas, barbeques and a great cafe. Canoe and SUP hire is available. There is also a walking / cycling trail for out of the water fun. When we visited it was a very warm day but it was not overcrowded. I highly recommend a visit.
6. Zig Zag Scenic Drive

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia
The Zig Zag is a former railway line that zig zags down the Darling Ranges, giving a magnificent view of Perth. The Zig Zag runs through the Gooseberry Hill National Park. The council has closed the Zig Zag to motorised traffic because of anti-social behavior by some motorists. The council has not yet made a decision when, or if, to reopen the Zig Zag to cars, but the Zig Zag is open to pedestrians. Apart from the view, the Zig Zag hosts native birds and animals.
7. Jorgensen Park Walk Trail

Reviewed By SaltyBug - Perth, Australia
Jorgensen Park is an old golf course, now overgrown with little walk trails offshooting the main fairways. What you get is a great space with a range of terrains to explore. Keep to the fairways for an easy flat and level surface. For a bit of adventure head into the bush and choose your own adventure with the myriad of little trails all over the place. When you are done make use of the picnic facilities and playground or head to one of the fabulous little cafes or bakeries in the area. A perfect day trip with the whole family.

This is really an information centre / gift shop, and very attractive too. There is a great range of gifts, I suspect mainly sourced from the local area. There are also maps, and information pamphlets, as w ell as two ladies eager to help with our enquires. A good drop-in place to visit.
10. Mundaring Weir

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia
In days gone by, Mundaring Weir would regularly overflow and many sightseers would make the 40 km (24 mile) trip from Perth to see it. Unhappily, this hasn't happened since 1996. The Mundaring Weir was completed in 1903 to supply water to be piped 700 km (435 miles) to the Eastern Goldfields. The construction of Mundaring Weir and the Goldfields Pipeline is an engineering achievement of epic proportions. The lake is named after C Y O'Connor, the chief engineer, who tragically took his own life. The Weir is located in bushland, with many wild birds and animals. It is well worth the trip.
