Lesmurdie Falls
Lesmurdie Falls in winter and spring is one of Perth’s most popular leisure destinations.
Stunning views over the Swan Coastal Plain are available from lookout platforms which are a short walk from the picnic area on Falls Road.
The main picnic area (above the head of the Falls) contains a large car park, three large picnic tables with shade, toilet facilities and rubbish bins. Disabled access is available to toilets and picnic tables. The lower level carpark has basic picnic facilities only.
