Hiking in Perth

Perth Day Hikes

Darling Range, Swan River & Coastline

Within an hour or so of Perth lies a great number of hiking trails ranging from short ambles to longer walks full of diverse scenery. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to experience a lot of them and below is a collection of my experiences and photos from each trail.

Have fun with the new interactive map to select a hike near you and click through to read more about what's involved for each trail.

If you're looking for a physical guidebook, I've just launched my new Best Walks of the Perth Hills book, which you can buy here.

Happy hiking and enjoy your time out in nature.
