Located in the Mundy Regional Park, the Lesmurdie Falls offers several walking trails of varying difficulty levels, from the 640-metre return Falls Trail to the 1.5-kilometre Lesmurdie Brooke Loop or three-kilometre Valley Loop Trail. The Lesmurdie Falls Track follows the brook until it reaches a bridge at the top of the falls. On a clear day, you’ll be able to see the Perth city skyline and Rottnest Island. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can follow the trail down to the picnic area at the base of the hills, and another short trail leads to the base of the falls. The waterfall takes a magical, almost New Zealand-like appearance with the lush vegetation that grows from where the brook hits the base. The climb back to the carpark is short but steep, so treat yourself with a picnic when you arrive back at the car, or enjoy a treat in the Kalamunda Village.
