Waterfall magic close to the city.

Serpentine Falls is just 55 km south-east of Perth, which makes the beautiful swimming spot perfect for a family day out.

The falls cascade over a 15 metre sheer granite rock-face into a refreshing rock rimmed pool.

A short swim will take you to the bottom of the falls, where you may find a natural seat in the rocks to get showered on.

The falls are located in an idyllic bush setting, making this a great spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
