Whistlepipe Gully flows down the edge of a large granite formation, running as a waterfall. The section of the trail near the falls is also a superb vantage point from which to see the Swan Coastal Plain, with the city of Perth visible in the distance.
Take a picnic and a rug as there are lots of lovely spots to sit by the creek.
The trail simply follows stream down one side and returns up the other. Â See trail notes below or download the map and walk notes from the Perth Hills Visitor Centre website.
A curious feature on this trail is the remains of a house which spanned the falls in the 60's. It must have been a fabulous place to live but was built without the proper planning permission and had to be demolished.
The best time to visit is between June and September when the creeks are flowing or September to November when the wildflowers come out in spring.
Park at the northern end of Lewis Road, Forrestfield.
The trail markers are Shire of Kalamunda markers with a pink corner.Â

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
