I have walked many trails in this great National Park, the Lion Lookout trail which is quite short but very challenging due to very steep descents, Victoria Dam, Bickley Reservoir, Munday Brook trail and many more. The abundance of wildflowers in spring is amazing. Once you get used to the signage it’s quite easy to follow the trails without getting lost. A must visit for everyone trying to escape the Perth suburbia.

John Forrest National is a great family location for hiking, bike riding and a lovely picnic spot. We visited in a beautiful spring day and on foot travelled to the old train tunnel.. A fun spot to explore with young children. The entry fee is per car around $16. For entry. You can purchase food from the kiosk or take your own as plenty of parking and picnic spots on offer.

Just south east of the perth CBD is a wonderful bushland day’s excursion with many natural bushland experiences to explore in your own leisure. Trail walks exist through the National Park for all levels of fitness. Rivers and streams to discover, The Serpentine Dam has a lovely cafe to sit back, relax, eat and drink overlooking the beautiful water reserve. Serpentine Falls is a wonderful location for a picnic and hang out amongst Australian bushland spot a few native animals, even go for a dip at the base of the falls. Enjoy connecting back to nature, it brings you back to the simple things that make you feel good.

These 1800-hectare national parklands are set in the Avon Valley. The Swan River becomes a thrashing white-water stream as it runs through the park, making it a favored location for canoeing and rafting. The park's walking trails are shaded by Wundoo, Jarrah and Flooded Gum trees, and kangaroos and bird life flourish. Wildflowers are spectacular in spring and in winter the rugged scenery is captivating. The park provides numerous picnic and barbecue areas.

This bushwalking season, our group had been hiking in different trails within an hour's drive from Perth every week. Buying an annual park pass was the only option for us, instead of a day pass, especially since we were both RAC members and held a Concession Card. We parked our cars in the Boongarup Pool Car Park. We chose the longest hiking trail, the 11-km Echidna Trail, a Grade 3 Difficulty walk, best taken in anti clockwise direction. The trail starts close to where the Wooroloo and Avon rivers meet to become the Swan. It's very picturesque in the first 30 minutes, and involved a tiring ascend, but the rest of the 3.5 hours taken to walk the 11-km Echidna Trail, was on a broad 4WD track, and stony in most parts. Highlights were the blooming wild flowers including the beautiful fringe lily, trigger plants and some myrtle species. Definitely recommended!

We did this trail with 4 kids, aged between 9 and 12. The ascend was steep but it wasn't impossible. The last 1.3km to the lookout was mostly flat which was a nice break from the incline. Reaching the lookout was amazing. The views from above were spectacular. Serpentine falls looked so small and the air above was so fresh. The descend was a little shaky as the rocks were quite unstable. I recommend finding a nice sturdy stick for stability. The overall trail was great and if you don't mind a bit of a challenge, definitely give it a go.
