Uncover the rich beauty and rugged bush lands of Western Australia’s first national park, John Forrest on this 10 km adventure. We explore the highlights of John Forrest, from the Swan View tunnel, to the wildflowers, waterfalls and dams. This is an adventure for the entire family.

Enjoy magnificent views over the city, the rush of water on the multiple waterfalls during winter, and the secret history of the tunnel, ‘fairy villages’, and ‘swimming pool’ of the early 1900’s. There’s plenty of wildlife to observe including many native birds, kangaroos and bandicoots, while the wildflowers colour the landscape in the springtime.
