Perth Trail

Begin your journey in the heart of Perth at the much-loved Kings Park and Western Australian Botanic Garden, alive with colourful plant and bird life. Follow the nature trails or relax in tranquil picnic areas as you savour Perth’s spectacular floral treasures. Make sure you have your camera for the Park’s natural vantage point with sweeping views across the city and Swan River to the gently rising Darling Escarpment which frames Perth’s eastern horizons.

It’s a pleasant drive up the Sunset Coast, with its white beaches, to Yanchep. Then a short journey east takes you into the forested hills of the Darling Range, known as the Perth hills, where several National Parks and reserves are situated among towering jarrah and marri trees. 

Take in the picturesque Swan Valley, where the river meanders through this renowned wine producing area. In addition to award winning wines, the Swan Valley produces a wide range of delicious fresh produce and there are a number of wineries, breweries, restaurants and art galleries for you to visit.

For snorkelling and pristine beaches, take a ferry day trip to the unique environment of Rottnest Island.
