4WD Tracks in Perth Hills

The Perth Hills extend east and south-east of Perth city, and their state forest network provides the closest 4WD terrain to a major Australian capital city. The jarrah and marri forests of the Darling Scarp have a significant network of forestry roads and 4WD tracks accessible to standard high-clearance vehicles.

The Mundaring area, the Helena Valley fringe, the Serpentine National Park back-roads, and the Dwellingup Forest area to the south are the primary destinations. The Dwellingup forestry tracks in particular have well-defined routes of varying difficulty. No permits are required for state forest day use in most areas.
