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 is an excellent place to stop and enjoy the view from the top of Lesmurdie Falls. You'll also have great views of the surrounding area, so be prepared to spend a few minutes here to take it all in.

Mundy Regional Park forms the setting for the Whistlepipe Gully Walk, protecting a large stretch of jarrah and marri forest along the Darling Scarp in the Perth Hills. The park is known for its rocky gullies, seasonal waterfalls, and sweeping views across the Swan Coastal Plain. Entry to the park is free, and walkers can access the Whistlepipe Gully trail from the nearby car park and picnic area. With its mix of bushland, granite outcrops, and spring wildflowers, the park offers a great introduction to bushwalking in the Perth Hills.

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.

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.

Great gravel ride path, be aware that this is a common user track so hikers, dog walkers, horse riders etc use this. Beware the ‘pea gravel’ though if riding downhill… Like riding on marbles!
