Swan View Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Swan View Tunnel is one of the most memorable features on the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, passing through a curved railway tunnel in John Forrest National Park. It’s completely dark inside, with an uneven gravel surface, so a torch or phone light is recommended. The air feels noticeably cooler as you walk through.

Railway Reserves Heritage Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Railway Reserves Heritage Trail follows a former rail line through the Perth Hills, with long, mostly level sections that are easy to walk or cycle. You’ll pass through forest, cuttings, and old railway features, including tunnels and timber bridges. Popular access points like Mundaring and Swan View have parking and basic facilities. Surfaces are generally compact gravel, but can be uneven in places. The Swan View Tunnel is a standout section, but bring a torch. Watch for cyclists, and carry water as some stretches have limited shade.

National Park Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

National Park Falls is a small waterfall in John Forrest National Park, best visited after rain when the flow is strongest. The setting is quiet, surrounded by bushland and rock ledges where water runs through the valley.

Eagle View Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Eagle View Lookout is a spot where the Eagle View Walk Trail emerges from the forest to a boulderers outcrop with 360 views. Watch out for ants if you're sitting up here enjoying the view.
