Perth Hills attractions are best for John Forrest National Park, Lesmurdie Falls, Araluen, Mundaring, Kalamunda, walking, waterfalls, gardens and a cooler-feeling break from the coast and city when conditions suit.
Outdoor conditions matter. Summer heat, limited shade, trail closures, bushfire-season warnings, rain, road conditions and facility access can change a hills day quickly, so confirm official information before travelling.
Perth Hills can combine with Swan Valley or a city base, but it works best as a focused outdoor day.
