Zig Zag Scenic Drive

Zig Zag Scenic Drive is a one-way scenic road descending the Darling Scarp at Gooseberry Hill in the City of Kalamunda, about 25 kilometres east of Perth, Western Australia. Following the formation of the former Kalamunda Zig Zag railway, the 3-kilometre sealed drive offers elevated panoramic views over the Swan Coastal Plain, Perth city and coastline. Notable for its winding alignment, lookout bays and seasonal wildflowers, it is a popular short drive for sightseeing and photography.

Visitors can expect a slow, one-way downhill drive along a narrow, winding sealed road with multiple designated parking bays and lookouts. The route traverses open jarrah forest and scarp slopes with expansive views west over Perth, the Swan River and the Indian Ocean on clear days. There are interpretive signs about the railway history and natural environment. The drive is shared with cyclists and walkers, with no shops or toilets on the drive itself.
