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.  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.

The trail markers are Shire of Kalamunda markers with a pink corner.

A great one hour hike with some easy climbs and obstacles to clamber over. Nice view of Perth and gurgling creek and red-tailed cockatoos.

Fantastic for little ones to explore.
We did this trail with our 4.5yo, 2.5yo and baby. The trail was very manageable and fun for the 4.5yo who enjoyed the rock hopping, crossing the creek and going up and down the trail. The baby and 2.5yo were in backpack carriers but we stopped at a few points for a play in the shade and creek. There is a steep ascent near the start but after that it's fairly flat in general.

Beautiful walk the trail is right by the creek the entire loop and plenty of safe places to get right down to the water. So many sections of cascading water at the end of winter. Surface is good and not too rocky.

Was our favourite trail in the Perth Hills when we lived there. Family and dog friendly and once upon a time you would have the entire trail to yourself which made it that little more special. Great views and some cool history with remnants of the old house near the falls.

We had a great time doing this trail with our two chihuahuas. They loved jumping over the rocks and logs across the track.

Fwoahhhhhh. This is some tricky downhill riding - I can see why the locals are so proud of it. The great news is that the park seems to be under development and expansion. Lots of loop options, as long as you don't mind going up the same way most of the time. Would definitely go back; worth the weekend trip from Perth.
