My best day in perth. Lovely place. Went there at about 28°C but the wind made it alright. Lookout point is cool, Perth really is a very flat city. You can climb up to the side of the waterfall too. The lower car park is more accessible via bus.

We did the Lesmurdie Brook Loop and the great thing with this path is it can connect to other areas - this give...
