Kalamunda......
It's Beautiful,
It's Quiet,
It's Natural,
It's close to Perth,
And there are lots of things to do and
see.
Only 30 minutes drive from the centre of
Perth, you will discover the magic of Kalamunda set among the wildflowers
and rocky outcrops of the Darling Escarpment, with views accross
the coastal plain to the sparkling Indian Ocean.
Tree covered valleys rolling eastward delight
at every turn of the undulating roads.
Kalamunda began as a timber settlement in
the late 1860's By the early 1900's it became important as a resort
as people sought to escape the "maddening pace" and "cacophonous
noise" of urban living at the turn of the century!
(the population of Perth was only 40,000 at
that time.)
This in-rush of visitors prompted the construction
of many large, beautiful guest houses with magnificent gardens,
many can still be found dotted around the area.
