🚶‍♀️🌳Trails Tuesday
🚂💦 RAILWAY RESERVES HERITAGE TRAIL | JFNP Waterfalls
Have you explored the winter wonders at John Forrest National Park? Wander the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail (RRHT), beginning at the new carpark and heading west toward National Park Falls. Next, head eastwards back toward the main picnic area and to the cascading Hovea Falls. The gravel track is wide, and slopes so slowly that you'll barely notice you’re walking uphill/downhill.

Points of interest along this part of the 41km trail include National Park Falls, Hovea Falls, the old train bridge, Jane Brook Promenade and more. There is a bit of doubling back, but it’s worth it to see these two stunning waterfalls.
A walk in the Perth Hills wouldn’t be complete without a café stop or two. Why not begin at Glen Forrest Gourmet to grab gourmet takeaways to enjoy later under the trees. Here’s our quick guide 👉

💦 July marked a major milestone for Mundaring Weir.

130 years ago, in July 1896, C. Y. O’Connor’s proposal for a pumping scheme from the Greenmount Ranges was formally presented to Parliament.

The bold proposal became the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, and the rest, as they say, is history.

More than a century on, it’s extraordinary to consider what was achieved – the weir and 560km Golden Pipeline built largely by hand, without today’s machinery or safety equipment.

It remains an immensely important engineering project, changing the fortunes of WA. When was the last time you visited Mundaring Weir?

📸 Fantastic images from the State Library of Western Australia - most taken during the construction period 1898-1902. Image one was taken in 1930, and image two is of the weir overflowing in 1922.
