Today we drove to discover some of the Serpentine-Jarrahdale area.

We drove down the freeway, and east onto Mundijong Rd, and into Jarrahdale, where we bought lunch at the Jarrahdale General Store. It was a nice day, and it was busy with people with bikes, biking the Munda Biddi trail that goes through there.
Then we drove 8km on, and ate our lunch at the Lower Picnic Area of Serpentine Dam.
We then walked around the dam area. The water level looked quite low, even with all the rain we’ve had recently.

Driving back through Jarrahdale (a very cute historical town), we went to Gooralong Park, part of Serpentine National Park, and did a short walk there. It was a very nice spot, where you can camp and have bbq’s, and lots of walks start there. You can even walk all the way to Serpentine Falls.

Right: Near Gooralong Park, Serpentine Falls National Park.

Pascal next to the largest Blackboy(grass tree) we’ve ever seen!

On the way back, we stopped at Tumbulgum Farm, of the South West Highway. It said entry was free, it only costs money to see the shows($16), so we thought we might be able to go and just pat some animals. And we did see a few, but not many, and none wanted to be petted… :(

So we drove on, took a detour to take a look at Roleystone (nice town), and stopped at Gosnells Railway Markets foodcourt for a curry dinner.
