About Kalamunda National Park
Kalamunda National Park is a 375-hectare protected area in the Darling Range near Kalamunda, about 25 kilometres east of Perth, Western Australia. Managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, it protects jarrah, marri and wandoo woodland around the Piesse Brook valley. Notable for seasonal wildflowers, granite outcrops and forested valleys, the park is traversed by the Bibbulmun Track and offers short walk trails, picnic areas and birdwatching close to Perth.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a compact bushland park with jarrah forest, Piesse Brook valley, granite boulders and seasonal wildflowers. The park has marked walk trails of varying length including sections of the long-distance Bibbulmun Track, picnic areas with tables and barbecues at Schipp Road and Spring Road, and lookouts over forested valleys. There are no shops or cafes inside the park; the setting is natural and relatively quiet, suitable for bushwalking, nature photography and birdwatching.
