Picnic at
Mundaring Weir
The hills are a stone’s throw from Perth but you’ll feel like you’re a world
away. The charming villages are packed with wineries and fresh produce
to tempt the tastebuds, as well as an array of cycle tracks, bushwalks and
rock-climbing locations for the active visitor.
Pack a rug and basket and head to the hills for

The word ‘Kalamunda’ is
derived from the Aboriginal
‘cala munnda’, meaning
‘home in the forest’. The
town boasts a quaint main

The village of Mundaring
sits high over Greenmount
Hill and is a great
destination for a daytrip,
being only a 45-minute
drive from the city.
Mundaring was one
of the stops along the
Eastern Railway line in
the late 1800s, and the
town’s history is closely
linked with the creation of
the Goldfields Pipeline.

The sanctuary forest town,
situated in the Darling
Range on the way to
Armadale, has something
for everyone. In this neck
of the woods you’ll find
great hiking trails and
picnic areas at Churchman
Brook Dam, on Soldiers
Road. Araluen Botanic
Park boasts a unique
microclimate where exotic
species like tulips, camellias
and lilacs thrive in spring
– but in summer it’s the
shady grassed areas and
waterways that are the main
attractions. A ten-minute
drive away from the park
is the Araluen Golf Resort
with manicured greens
surrounded by rolling hills
and bushland. The 18-hole
course is home to quendas,
possums and western
grey kangaroos.
Bickley &
Carmel Valley
Five kilometres past
Kalamunda lies what is
often described as ‘a slice
of Italy’. The valleys are
home to a cider house,
and wineries that produce
some heavy-hitting reds
and great chardonnays.
Cellar doors are open
on weekends, but by
appointment during the
week. Other attractions
include the roadside stalls
selling fresh fruit and veg
straight from the farm. If
you’re eager to plan
a peaceful weekend in the
valleys there are several

Rock climbing
hot spots
Darlington Boulders
THINGS
TO DO
The granite boulders are located near the Darlington
Estate Winery 30km east of Perth in a side valley of
the Helena River. The short and technical climbs
provide great views of the surrounding valley.
The boulders heat up during summer so it’s best
to climb on the slabs in Upper Darlington in the
morning and the boulders in the main area in the
afternoon. Navigating your way to the boulders can
be a bit difficult; you’ll find in-depth directions on
the Climbers Association of WA (CAWA) forum.
Mountain Quarry
Mountain Quarry in Greenmount National Park is
considered the best climbing spot near Perth, thanks
to an effort to rebolt and clean up the routes. There
are a number of classic ‘face’ climbs and hard-bolted
sport routes. These climbs are for the more experienced
but it’s fun to head out there and watch the experts.
You’ll find the car park on the northern side of
Coulston Road. The entrance is on the left-hand side
if you’re heading east away from Perth, and it’s about
a five-minute walk from the car park to the quarry. Don’t
forget to bring all your valuables with you. The entry to
the quarry is locked, so you’ll need to call the District
Office ((08) 9290 6100) for the padlock combination,
which is changed every few months.
Churchman Brook
The cliff is located down a well-used dirt track
off Soldiers Road, just before it heads downhill
going east. It is broken up in two parts, with a small
beginners’ slope to the west and the main climbing
area to the east. There are lots of loose pebbles at the
top – bring a helmet to avoid a nasty knock to your
noggin. The best time to climb at Churchman Brook
is from mid-afternoon onwards when the cliff is shaded
– even in the very early morning the direct sunlight
makes the rockface and surrounds incredibly hot.
Photography The Laughing Ladies
BIBBULMUN TRACK
MUNDARING WEIR
Starting in Kalamunda, the iconic track covers almost 1000km through national parks,
valleys and unspoiled bushland. Along the trail are towering karri and tingle forests, costal
terrain and rocky, granite sheets. A walk along the renowned track can be a spontaneous,
day-long experience or an ambitious eight-week escapade, but regardless of your schedule,
you’ll be sure to discover a vast array of flora and fauna.

Dams
Churchman Brook
The popular Churchman Brook Dam in Armadale
is known to have one of the prettiest picnic spots
in the state. There are picnic areas with tables
and shelters, free gas barbecues and a children’s
playground, not to mention signed walk trails
through the adjoining bushland. The large grassed
areas are great for a social game of cricket – don’t
forget to bring stumps, bats and balls. Other facilities
include two accessible parking bays, located at either
end of the park, and an accessible toilet.
Serpentine Dam
The dam was completed in 1961, and is one of the
biggest dams supplying the Perth metropolitan area.
Along with fantastic views, the well-kept picnic area has
barbecues, a playground, and toilets. At the refurbished
cafe there is also a woodcraft gallery. Nearby
Serpentine Falls is also a great location for a picnic.
The 400m return walk is accessible to wheelchairs and
prams, and weaves past vegetation and rock pools to
the falls. The entry fee to the falls is $11 per car.
Lake Leschenaultia
Head to Mundaring Weir, and walk across the
bridge overlooking the beautiful cascading
water. This important source of fresh water not
only supplies the Goldfields and the agricultural
areas, but provides an educational base and a
bounty of historical information, all set amdist
the enchanting bushland.
Lake Leschenaultia, at the north-eastern tip of the
hills, is a great spot for an outing with the kids or
a family overnight camping adventure. It has calm
beaches perfect for children, there’s canoeing
equipment for hire on site, and a recreation set-up
that makes the lake a local favourite. Facilities include
shaded areas, lawns, barbecues and playground
equipment. Bring the binoculars so you can spot
the native birds and appreciate the surrounding flora.
Karakamia Wildlife
Sanctuary Night Walks
The sanctuary in Chidlow offers two-hour guided
spotlight tours to older kids (seven and above)
and adults. The tour leaves at dusk and weaves
along a 3km bush track – you’ll need a good pair
of shoes and moderate fitness. During the walk
you’re likely to spot nocturnal animals including
woylies, wallabies, quenda and brush-tailed possums.
