Serpentine Falls is a national park located in the southeast of Perth. While the biggest interest lies with the fall itself, I reckon the landscape was pretty amazing and the views gorgeous.
There are several trails in the park. We decided to go for the Kitty Gorge's trail to begin with. I really enjoyed walking along the different scenery. The trail was not too challenging in terms of slippery and rocky paths, but still be careful where you put your feet. The hardest part was definitely at the beginning with a tough uphill, but after it is pretty much flat surface. Once you reached the top, you can have a glance of the fall, with the turquoise water.
Along the path, we came across lot of greenery and picturesque views on the hills. My uncle did spot a tiny snake while we were walking, but luckily it hid away soon after. I wish I saw it.
We kept walking and walking for a few hours or so before realising we missed the trail sign and kept on going in the wrong direction. We did see it on the way back. Also,we got to see a hole in a tree, which had similar resemblance to Grandma Willow from Pocahontas. It was very random indeed.
After we returned from our walk, we went to visit the fall. It says that the water is untreated, but there were still many people having a swim. I enjoyed getting my feet wet, felt so good after the long walk.
On the way back, we were lucky enough to spot a few kangaroos. Overall, it was a great day spent. It was tiring but I did enjoy this short trip.
Note:
There is a car entrance fee and there is a limited number of cars permitted to access during the day, so better go early.
