My wife and I visited Caversham as part of a day tour around the Perth area. As it was an organised tour, we experienced several supervised encounters as part of our visit. Perhaps the best was the time spent in the large kangaroo enclosure, with a a great number of very friendly and relaxed kangaroos, who we were able to feed. Our visit also included other animal encounters, including koalas and a farming presentation. Caversham is a beautiful, spacious, well laid out and maintained park with well cared for animals in spacious, natural enclosures. We only had about two hours here, but could easily have spent at least half a day to thoroughly explore and enjoy this beautiful park. Don't rush your visit - allow plenty of time!

Located on the doorstep of the Swan Valley, Whiteman Park is one of the largest metropolitan recreation and conservation parks in the world. Covering nearly 4,000 hectares, the Park is a place to enjoy life’s simple pleasures – walking or cycling on peaceful bush paths, playing with the kids or simply delighting in the calmness of our unspoilt natural heritage… There’s a lot to see and do including a visit to Caversham Wildlife Park, Motor Museum, Tractor Museum and Revolutions Transport Museum. There’s also Vintage bus, train and tram rides, playgrounds, barbeques and shady picnic areas – you could spend a day there and not see it all!

We saw plenty of woylies and quendas. Kids loved it. Best for kids older than 5 as they have to stay reasonably quite for the walk. Would have been good to see some other species like in Drayandra woodland nocturnal walk. Otherwise, fantastic and close to Perth.

As a bushwalking group, we rate the Numbat Trail our favorite. It's hard to do, especially in temperatures reaching 26°, but we started at 7:30 am the second time 14 of us did it. The $10 payment goes towards a good cause. We came across Michelle who was maintaining the tracks. The views, the workout, the wildflowers - they made the visit worthwhile!

We walked this 5Km Loop on a nice day in September 2019. Great views, good wildflowers, nice walk. Close to Perth and easy to get to. Afterwards, we went to the Fig Tree Estate in Millendon and had a couple of their apple ciders with a pizza. Terrific Day!

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!

Explore the history of our town - on foot. Established on what is virtually an island encircled by the Swan and Helena Rivers, Guildford is ideally suited to exploration on foot. To assist you in discovering the numerous fascinating historic buildings, lively characters and wonderful stories of this 'island village' three new heritage walk trails (with 35 interpretive panels) have been built. Each trail starts and finishes at the Old Guildford Courthouse (Visitor Centre).

If you want a choice of a short trail (1.3km) or longer one (3.2km) and one with great views, gum trees and sounds of bubbling brook, this is it! There's even a picnic spot with benches next to the car park, overseeing the water. But, don't expect to see many wildflowers. Still, there were marri, jarrah, sheoak and a variety of bush to admire, and the private properties next to the trails were pleasant to look at. We came in early spring.
