Head of the Falls sits at the top of Lesmurdie Falls in Mundy Regional Park, where the water begins its drop over the escarpment. From here, you get a more elevated perspective looking out across the valley, with the falls starting just below the viewpoint. It’s an easy-to-reach spot from nearby parking, with minimal walking compared to the lower sections.

Foot of the Falls Lookout sits at the base of Lesmurdie Falls in Mundy Regional Park, where you can get closest to the cascade as it flows over rock shelves into the valley. It’s a more immersive viewpoint compared to the higher lookouts, with water, rocks, and surrounding bushland right around you. Flow varies depending on recent rainfall.

Victoria Reservoir sits within Korung National Park, combining historic dam remains with a newer reservoir structure surrounded by jarrah forest.

A grassed picnic area sits beneath the wall, making it a natural stopping point along the Victoria Reservoir Walk Trail.

Korung National Park sits in the Perth Hills, known for its jarrah forest, granite outcrops, and a network of walking trails that pass historic dam and timber sites. For the Victoria Reservoir Walk Trail, access is typically from the Mason Bird Heritage Trail area, where roadside parking is available near the trailhead. There is no entry fee for this section of the park. Facilities are limited, but you’ll find a grassed picnic area near the dam wall, with no formal amenities directly along the trail.

Victoria Reservoir Walk Trail is a challenging loop through a historic section of Korung National Park, descending from the valley rim into the reservoir catchment before climbing back out. Along the way, you’ll pass the preserved ruins of the original Victoria Dam, completed in 1891, with information boards explaining its history. A section of the old dam wall remains visible beneath the newer structure, alongside a grassed picnic area. The trail moves through Australian bushland with steady elevation changes, and in spring, wildflowers cover the forest floor. Surfaces can be uneven and loose underfoot.

Sixty Foot Falls is a seasonal waterfall, the main natural attraction in Ellis Brook Valley Reserve. The falls plunge about 18 metres, or 60 feet (as in the name), down a granite escarpment into a shallow pool. There is an emphasis on the seasonal aspect of the falls, which typically flow only during winter and early spring, or after rainfall.
