Perth Hills, positioned in Western Australia’s easter suburbs is a tranquil, picturesque suburb known for its beauty and scenic surroundings. The area is characterised by its sprawling, rural-style homes, dispersed among the lush green forests and rolling wills of Western Australia.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the bustling city, or an expansive playground to explore and adventure, the Perth Hills has what you need. The area is famous for its incredible parks and nature reserves, such as John Forrest National Park and Lesmurdie Falls National Park. These two parks, and the surrounding green spaces provide ample opportunities to hike, camp and enjoy the outdoors.
However, if hiking and camping isn’t your thing, the area still provides a peaceful escape from hectic city living, and offers beautiful scenic drives, including the Kalamunda Zig Zag.
