"To watch the sunset you have the choice of driving a little further up the road from the carpark and watching from your car, however it is definitely worth it to take the 5 minute walk, sit on the platform next to the falls and bath in the golden light. This is always a stunning location to relax, with the waterfall beside you, the city in front of you and the hills surrounding you. While you’re there make sure you check out the many great hiking trails available as well!"
"Lesmurdie Falls offers the visitor stunning views over the Swan Coastal Plain from lookout platforms which are a short walk from the picnic and parking areas on Falls Road. The area is especially popular in Springtime when the falls are flowing and a dazzling array of wildflowers are on display. If you are feeling energetic, stretch your legs on several walk trails of varying degrees of difficulty and length (30mins–2 hrs)."
"The Swan River foreshore at Matilda Bay - across the road from the University of Western Australia - is a popular spot for picnics and swimming. Parts of the grassed area can be hired for functions such as weddings, which is not surprising for such a pleasant setting. Matilda Bay and jetty"
"Only a 20-minute drive from Perth, the Butterflies, Birds and Bridges Trail is one of the most scenic trails in Canning Regional Park. You’ll walk through sedge meadows, mature woodlands, creeks and amongst the crowns of a paperbark forest. This lengthy but easy trail is the perfect weekend day trip, and with water access points and a cafe, it’s a trail that you don’t have to be too prepared for."

"There’s something really special about having a slice of cake with coffee when out with friends. It may seem impossible when looking after your health, but you can still get away with a sneaky treat at Twig And Sparrow. They have delicious, exciting breakfasts such as smashed avocado and pomegranate on toast, but they also bake fresh cakes and treats such as dark chocolate and berry tarts with chantilly cream."
