These guys were super helpful when I broke my bike out on the trails, really considerate, great attitude and nothing too much trouble. Considering thy have a captive audience, the prices for spares and accessories are decent. They have an impressive hire fleet including e-MTB's and the rates are good. But the best thing is the can-do, help you out, community attitude. Great work and thanks.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
