🚶‍♀️🚴🌳 Trails Tuesday
🚂💦 RAILWAY RESERVES HERITAGE TRAIL | JFNP Highlights
Up for a bit of spotto? Explore John Forrest National Park's waterfalls, wildflowers and heritage highlights on this trail - there's so much to see! Wander the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, beginning at Petchy Road car park and head for the spooky Swan View Tunnel (bring waterproof shoes and a torch). Step out into the sunshine and continue east to National Park Falls.

Next, head toward the main John Forrest picnic area, over the old railway bridge that crosses Jane Brook (stopping for a picnic by the fairy houses and the new elevated walkway) and onto the cascading Hovea Falls. The gravel track is wide, and slopes so slowly that you'll barely notice you’re walking uphill/downhill.

There's so many points of interest along this part of the 41km trail, you'll want to make time to explore. A walk in the Perth Hills wouldn’t be complete without a café stop or two. Begin at Glen Forrest Gourmet and grab takeaways to enjoy under the trees. Here’s our quick guide 👉

🌳🚶 Trails Tuesday
Whistlepipe Gully & Lesmurdie Falls Loop | Mundy Regional Park

This hike takes in not one, but TWO of our favourite trails! Waterfalls, bushland, city views and a little bit of history – this scenic loop delivers some of the Perth Hills’ best walking in one rewarding adventure.

Starting from Whistlepipe Gully, follow the creek past little cascades, granite outcrops and the intriguing ruins of a 1960s Japanese-inspired home. From there, the trail climbs up through the Darling Scarp bushland before leading you southwestward along Lewis Road Walk. The halfway point-ish is the top of spectacular Lesmurdie Falls, with sweeping views across the Swan Coastal Plain, before heading to the base and north, back to your start point.

Winter and spring are especially beautiful, when the creeks are flowing, the falls are putting on a show and wildflowers brighten the trail. We walked Whistlepipe last week and we can tell you there's plenty of blooms to see. Just be prepared for a few steep climbs, uneven ground and potentially slippery sections after rain.

Our tip – Start early, especially on busy weekends, and pack a picnic or drop by Kalamunda for a feed afterwards.

📍 Start: Whistlepipe Gully trailhead, end of Lewis Road, Forrestfield
📏 Distance: 6.9km loop
📈 Grade: Moderate
⏰ Completion time: 2.5-3 hours
🗓 Best time: Winter/spring for waterfalls & wildflowers
💲 Cost: Free
💧 Water: BYO water
🐕 Dog-friendly: Yes – dogs must stay on leash
🌏 Region: Experience Perth Hills Kalamunda

Be sure to save this guide, hit the trail and always leave no trace 🌿
