The Mundy Regional Park is a regional park located on the western edge of the Darling Scarp, approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) east of Perth in Western Australia. The 56-hectare (140-acre) park has commanding views of the Swan Coastal Plain, the city of Perth and surrounding suburbs.
Location and features
The park contains the 50-metre (164 ft) Lesmurdie Falls, formed by Lesmurdie Brook emptying over the Scarp, and the surrounding riparian and heath vegetation.[2] Wandoo, Jarrah and Marri trees can all be found within the park. A gravity hill exists near the carpark on Palm Terrace.
