About Lesmurdie Falls

Lesmurdie Falls is a striking 55-metre waterfall cascading down the Darling Scarp in Mundy Regional Park, just 20 km from Perth CBD. The falls are best seen in winter after heavy rains when they become a powerful white curtain of water falling over weathered granite. The surrounding bushland of jarrah, marri, and grass trees, along with views of the Swan Coastal Plain below, make this one of Perth's finest natural escapes.
