Walyunga National Park lies in the Darling Range, just behind the Darling Scarp, and covers both sides of a steep valley. The park is known for sensational wildflowers in winter and spring, abundant native animals and rugged valley scenery. There is plenty of parking at the main picnic sites, as well as gas barbecues, which may be used free of charge. 

Walyunga National Park is almost 1,800 hectares in size and it is here that the Avon River becomes the Swan River. Outcrops of grey granite and occasional areas of darker dolerite can be seen along the valley sides, and water–worn boulders of both rock types lie in the stream bed. Red laterite caps the hill tops. 

Walyunga National Park is steeped with cultural significance and contains one of the largest known Aboriginal campsites within close proximity to Perth. This site was still used by the Nyoongar people in the late 1800s. Archaeological evidence suggests that the area has been used by Aboriginal people for more than 6,000 years. 

The park is open between 8am and 5pm daily.
