Gooseberry Hill National Park

Wed, 21 Mar 2018 21:11:33 +0000

Gooseberry Hill National Park is a hilly 33 hectare which has magnificent views of the Swan Coastal Plain and provides some amazing photography and bird watching opportunities. Within Gooseberry Hill National Park is the iconic a one-way scenic drive, known as the Zig Zag, which was formerly part of the railway line which serviced the timber industry and Stratham’s Quarry. The Zig Zag leads downhill through the park and, every year in early October, the Shire of Kalamunda holds a Zig Zag Walk event, where the road is open only to pedestrians allowing people the opportunity to admire the views and see the area’s wildflowers. The Zig Zag is also used as a stage in the Targa West Rally. You can access the top of Stratham’s Quarry from the Zig Zag which is also within the Park. Stratham’s Quarry is a great picnic spot. It has also been the scene of weddings, movies, abseiling accidents and many a brown pant moment! If you’re vertically inclined, the Quarry is a great spot for abseiling and rock climbing.

Fleming Reserve

Wed, 21 Mar 2018 21:03:05 +0000

On Newburn Road (between the intersections of Sorensen Road and Smith Crescent) lies Fleming Reserve. A community success story, the Reserve had been disused after many of the trees had been cut down to stop the spread of European Borer. Eager to claim the space back, a redevelopment project was initiated by local resident Michelle White with the support of local residents. The Fleming Reserve Redevelopment Project was an initiative driven by the High Wycombe Community Association in partnership with the Shire of Kalamunda. The community vision for Fleming Reserve was to create a multigenerational community play space that encourages physical activity and social interaction. The Reserve includes upgraded facilities such as – skate park / BMX Track and multi use youth area, children’s playground catering for children from 2-12 years of age, Community BBQ area, new toilet / change room, kiosk building, 1km internal pathway system, landscaping and public art. The project was a great success and today the reserve is bustling with youthful and family activities and community events.
