About Noble Falls
Noble Falls is a seasonal waterfall on Wooroloo Brook in Noble Falls Reserve at Gidgegannup, within the City of Swan, about 45 km northeast of Perth, Western Australia. Set in open wandoo woodland, the cascade flows strongly in winter and spring after rain. The reserve is a popular day-use picnic and nature area known for its waterfall viewing, walk trails and seasonal wildflower displays.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a natural bushland reserve centred on a low cascade waterfall over granite rocks on Wooroloo Brook. The site includes grassed picnic areas, a car park, and the Noble Falls Walk Trail that follows the brook through wandoo and flooded gum woodland. When water is flowing in winter and spring, the falls and pools are the main focus for sightseeing and photography. In drier months the brook may be reduced to pools or dry rock.
