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.

My Husband and I had a fantastic time walking through the tunnel and talking about life. We sat under a tree with a view and just took in the nature around us.

Lesmurdie Falls

Reviewed By kerryinoz - Perth, Australia

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.

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.

Mundaring Community Sculpture Park

Reviewed By timgina1 - Perth, Australia

This park is great for kids of all ages. There is a huge climbing rope with a big slide to get you down for the bigger kids. There are swings, in ground merry-go-round, two flying foxes, a nature climb area with a tree truck that you can walk through and a play area with 3 other slides with many ways up to get to them. There are also objects up the top for the kids to climb on, one is a hand and another a digger. There is plenty of shade for picnics and a few tables scattered around. The playground has shade at different times of the day. Definitely worth a visit here for the kids to burn off some energy. Plenty of parking and its across the road from the Mundaring Pub.
