The Xanthorrhoea Trail Walk is accessed from a carpark at the end of West Terrace, off Kalamunda Rd in the Perth hills suburb of Maida Vale.

The trail has some challenging, though walkable inclines, with spectacular views down to Perth City. The trail surface is well maintained, though can sometimes suffer from water erosion during the winter, with occasional standing water.

During spring, the wildflowers will be in bloom, and Crumpet Creek will be running.

The first part of the trail winds through sections which are thick with Xanthorrhoea Preissii - the native grass tree. Some areas are well shaded by eucalypts, with other parts exposed to the sun.

The latter part of the walk sees you enter land which has been previously cleared. It has much less undergrowth, with open grassland, before you make a final climb to complete the loop.

Overall was a decent trail. City views, and heaps of areas to watch the planes fly in and out. The trail is unmarked with more cross roads than I could count so definitely have a map downloaded or you will get lost. Very loose gravel as well as steep inclines and declines. Parking is ok too.

A great trail in easy reach of the city. It has less traffic than other trails near here making it more in tune with nature. The whole trail is surrounded by loads of the Xanthorrhoea trees that it is named after. You could be in the middle of the outback! It has some challenging hills and great city views. A nice winter creak follows the trail that has awesome wildflowers in the Spring. Easy to follow and nice parking at the start of the trail makes this one of the best trails in the neighborhood.
