Kalamunda National Park, Nature reserve in City of Kalamunda, Australia.
Kalamunda National Park is a 23-kilometre-east-of-Perth protected area of Darling Scarp woodland, where marri, jarrah and wandoo eucalypts grow among granite boulders. Piesse Brook runs through the park before joining the Helena River, and the northern end of the 965-kilometre Bibbulmun Track starts here.
The park marks the northern starting point of the Bibbulmun Track, a long-distance hiking trail that stretches across Western Australia. This route has become a key corridor for exploring the region's wilderness over many years.
The Whadjuk Noongar people have deep roots in this land and maintain their connection to it as their ancestral territory. Their presence shapes how the landscape is understood and valued today.
Entry to the park is free, and walk trails start from the vicinity of Kalamunda, 23 km east of Perth. The northern end of the Bibbulmun Track begins here, so expect a long-distance route rather than a short loop. Piesse Brook runs through the park, and the ground is uneven Darling Scarp woodland.
The Rocky Pool Walk offers a loop through changing woodland and heathland where wildflowers bloom at different times each year. This route shows how the park's ecology shifts across seasons and terrain.
