Mundaring

Mundaring is a short 40 minute drive from the Perth CBD and offers the perfect opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The villages of Mundaring are steeped in a rich history, closely linked by the old railway line that is now the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail stretching some 70 kilometres through the shire. The Shire of Mundaring covers an area of 644 square kilometres and one third of its total area is State Forest.

In Mundaring, the heart of the hills, you will find the Mundaring Weir, one of Australia's most remarkable engineering feats as well as the start of the popular Munda Biddi Bike Trail. There is a broad range of accommodation on offer, as well as fine food and award winning restaurants, wineries, arts and wildlife. The Shire is also home to the Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary, the Chidlow Marsupial Hospital and the Perth Hills National Parks Centre.
