Shire of Kalamunda Walks
With a serious lack of hiking trails in the national parks and nature reserves surrounding Perth, it is fantastic that the Shire of Kalamunda put some resources into mapping out and marking a selection of trails in the hills for us to enjoy. While mostly relying on existing trails and management tracks, it certainly adds a great number of options to those looking to explore the outdoors. Some are a bit hit and miss but there are some gems in there exploring some really nice areas. Have a listen to the podcast we recorded on them all and click through to each page to get more information including plenty of photos.
