Join us for a delightful hike throughout the Darling Range on the Bibbulmun Track between Perth Hills Discovery Centre and Hewett's Hill campsite.
The route we've chosen takes us via Mundaring Weir, weaving our way through mixed jarrah and banksia forest, before reaching South Ledge Picnic area. We then take the 400 metre return walk to Golden view Lookout where we'll enjoy amazing panoramic views over Lake CY O'Connor, the Mundaring Weir and the Helena River Valley. After having a break here we continue our walk onto Hewett's Hill Campsite which is officially the Number 1 campsite along the Bibbulmun Track from the Northern Terminus. We enjoy a rest and a bite to eat before returning along the same route back to the Perth Hills Discovery Centre.
The approximate time for this walk is 6 hours, however the walk may run over/under time depending upon the overall pace of the group. Please let our Guide know if you are on a time schedule.

From Perth, drive along the Great Eastern Highway to Mundaring, turn right in Mundaring on to Mundaring Weir Rd, continue a further 7km to the round-about and turn left on to Allen Road. The Centre is approx 1km along Allen Road on the right.

A perfect day out to escape from the everyday; a great mix of relaxation and trying new things!
I can highly recommend this adventure! Neville and Belle made us feel very welcome on the amazing catamaran. And as always, Sue O was the best and most thoughtful guide. I would definitely do this again!
The best afternoon I've had in a while, couldn't think of a better, more fun, inclusive, invigorating & after ... relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
Special thanks to our Organisers for the wonderful afternoon T & catch up - really hit the spot :).
I'm becoming a Member & looking forward to more Adventures with like minded, amazing women.
Thanks to Jo and Simone for a fun day learning to surf with a great group of like-minded women
This was a very interesting walk looking at amazing views and architecture toped off with very informative historic details that Chris delivered. Also an enjoyable social catchup with pizza and a larger. Thanks Chris
Wonderful afternoon having heaps of fun trying hard to learn how to surf. Laughed lots ! Jo and Simone were just lovely. Great afternoon tea afterwards
Another fantastic AW activity. Such fun to explore an area of the Swan River that is not well known or easily accessed and the ‘scrambling’ over a range of obstacles just added to the enjoyment and the challenge. Leonie, from Water Wanderers Wanderers, excelled herself with our picnic lunch and her enthusiasm for our river adventure.
What a great afternoon! Good fun!
A great way to spend a fun filled afternoon on the river thank you for yet another memorable adventure.
