Cardup

Cardup is a SUB AREA in Perth, Western Australia.

Cardup is a tiny rural locality in Western Australia’s Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, about 45 km southeast of Perth. With a population just over 1,000, it offers a quiet escape into rolling green hills, horse farms, and bushland. The town itself has a general store and a few community facilities, but the real draw is nearby Serpentine National Park with its waterfalls, hiking trails, and picnic spots. Jarrahdale, a historic timber town, is a short drive away and preserves 19th-century buildings and a charming museum. For wine lovers, the Swan Valley wine region is within an hour’s reach. Cardup is ideal for travellers seeking peace, nature, and a glimpse of authentic Australian country life. You'll find wide-open paddocks, friendly locals, and a slower pace. Don’t expect nightlife or major attractions—instead, enjoy clear night skies, kangaroos at dusk, and the scent of eucalyptus. The best way to explore is by car, as public transport is limited. Cardup is a hidden gem for those who want to unwind and connect with the land.
