Only thirty minutes southeast of Perth, the Serpentine Jarrahdale district, which includes the towns of Serpentine, Mundijong, Jarrahdale and Byford, offers some of Western Australia's most popular parks, art galleries, restaurants, wineries and wildlife.

The breathtaking scenery includes many forests, parks, rivers and other natural attractions, offering the perfect location for atraditional Australian barbecue or bushwalk. Serpentine Falls Park is an attractive picnic spot, with free barbecues and resident kangaroos.
