This leafy suburb is a gateway to John Forrest National Park, where you can hike to ancient granite outcrops, spot kangaroos at dawn, and marvel at the historic Swan View Tunnel. The famed Zig Zag Scenic Drive unfurls panoramic views of the Swan Coastal Plain – a perfect photo stop. Nearby, the Kalamunda History Village brings pioneer life to life with its heritage buildings. Despite its tiny population of 3,199, Gooseberry Hill hums with local charm: weekend farmers’ markets, artisanal bakeries, and quiet bushland trails. It’s a haven for nature lovers and families seeking slow-paced adventure. Visit in spring when wildflowers carpet the bush, or autumn for crisp walking weather. Accommodation ranges from cosy B&Bs to holiday rentals tucked among jarrah trees. Don’t miss the local honey and a sunset pint at the Kalamunda Hotel.
