西オーストラリア周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Sixty Foot Falls is a seasonal waterfall, the main natural attraction in Ellis Brook Valley Reserve. The falls plunge about 18 metres, or 60 feet (as in the name), down a granite escarpment into a shallow pool. There is an emphasis on the seasonal aspect of the falls, which typically flow only during winter and early spring, or after rainfall.

This high point and break in the trees reveal metropolitan Perth in the distance, just to the northwest.

Ellis Brook Valley is free to enter and open between 6 am and 7 pm, unless there is a total fire ban, in which case the park is closed. This park is renowned as the most abundant wildflower location in the Perth Metropolitan Area, with more than 500 wildflower species. Enjoy the songs of cockatoos, parrots, pardalotes, splendid fairy wrens, and wedge-tailed eagles while walking in this park. Also, keep an eye out for kangaroos, echidnas, possums, bats, and more.

One of the most popular bushwalks in the Perth Hills, the Kitty’s Gorge Trail follows the Serpentine River and Gooralong Brook through beautiful jarrah forest in Serpentine National Park. The track winds through bushland past granite outcrops, small waterfalls, and rocky pools, with plenty to explore along the way. In spring and autumn the trail is especially rewarding, with wildflowers and colourful fungi appearing across the forest floor. There are a few steeper sections and uneven ground, so a moderate level of fitness helps. The trail can be accessed from the Serpentine Falls car park or from the trailhead opposite Jarrahdale Cemetery.

Starting at the Kitty’s Gorge trailhead near Jarrahdale Cemetery, Stacey’s Loop is a quieter walk in Serpentine National Park that winds gently down a valley through beautiful jarrah forest toward Gooralong Brook. The short loop offers a peaceful alternative to the park’s busier trails, with shady forest and occasional glimpses of the creek along the way. From late winter to late spring the bush comes alive with wildflowers, and it’s common to spot wildlife such as blue wrens, parrots, cockatoos, and kangaroos.

Located just 55 kilometers outside of Perth, Serpentine National Park is a popular destination for outdoor adventures. The most popular attraction is the easily accessible Serpentine Falls, but there is great hiking throughout the park and the wildflowers in September are stunning.

The picnic area is a convenient place to start or end your hike along the Serpentine River. You'll find tables, BBQs, and if you're lucky some local wildlife as well.

Serpentine Falls is a great place to visit on a hot day. The falls and swimming hole are easily accessible just a short distance from the parking area where you'll also find BBQs and picnic areas to enjoy before or after your hike and swim.
