The best hikes from bus stations in Korung National Park

Kalamunda Mountain Bike Park has well-maintained trails that range from beginner to advanced trails. On site there is a bike rental service called Rock and Roll Mountain Biking, and a café called Trails Hub Café that serves food as well, open from 8 am to 3 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (closed weekdays).

Hewett's Hill Hut, sometimes also spelled Hewitt's Hut, was the first shelter built along the 1,000-kilometer Bibbulmun Track. Nestled in the Jarrah and Wandoo forests of Beelu National Park, the hut can only be reached by bushwalking. It's close to the trail's northern terminus, so this rustic, three-sided wooden timber hut often becomes southbound thru hikers' first night stop. There's a pit toilet and a rainwater catch, so treat or filter all water before drinking.

The Bibbulmun Track northern terminus marks the official beginning of one of Australia’s great long-distance walks, stretching about one thousand kilometres from Kalamunda to Albany on Western Australia’s south coast. The trail is named after the Bibbulmun people of the Noongar Nation, and walkers are guided by the famous yellow Waugal trail markers representing the Rainbow Serpent from Noongar culture. Information boards, track maps, and nearby bushland trails make this a popular starting point for both day walkers and long-distance hikers.

This section of the Bibbulmun Track winds through jarrah and marri forest beside Piesse Brook on the way to Rocky Pools in Kalamunda National Park. Narrow dirt trail, rocky creek crossings, and granite outcrops give this stretch a more natural and rugged feel than many of the wider management tracks nearby. During winter and spring, flowing water, damp forest, and wildflowers make this one of the more scenic creekside sections close to Perth.

Lesmurdie Falls National Park (part of Mundy Regional Park) centres around a steep valley with jarrah forest, granite outcrops, and Lesmurdie Falls. The park includes a network of walking tracks and lookout points across the escarpment. Facilities are available at the main trailhead, including a toilet block with wheelchair access via a concrete ramp and handrail. Dogs are permitted on leash, and entry to the park is free.

Head of the Falls sits at the top of Lesmurdie Falls in Mundy Regional Park, where the water begins its drop over the escarpment. From here, you get a more elevated perspective looking out across the valley, with the falls starting just below the viewpoint. It’s an easy-to-reach spot from nearby parking, with minimal walking compared to the lower sections.

The Rocky Pool Trail is a roughly 5 kilometer trek through the bushland of Kalamunda National Park to the eponymous rocky pool. Along the way you'll pass by jarrah forest, rock outcroppings, and sand singletrack on your way to the beautiful natural swimming hole. This trail also connects to the Bibbulmun Track, which is one of Western Australia's longest hiking tracks.

As you would imagine from the name there is a natural pool in the rocks as the creek spills over the boulders. It's the perfect place to rest and go for a cool down swim before continuing on your hike.
