Serpentine Falls is an interesting twisting waterfall found in the southern outskirts of the Perth Suburbs in the Jarrahdale Shire.
True to its name, the falls looks like it snakes its way down into a pool at its base that you can swim in. Well, we didn't swim in it, but there were walkways and a little "stepping in" part of the walk kind of like what you might see at a public swimming pool.
We showed up at the falls in June 2006, and as you can see from the photo above, it didn't exactly have the best flow. I reckon, it ought to have better flow later in the Winter or deep into the Spring when the water table of most of the drainages this side of WA has had a chance to accumulate and provide more reliable flow.
Directions: To get to the falls, you'll have to head south as you leave Perth on Road 30 and then continue south on Road 20 (South Western Hwy). Look for the well-signed Falls Road a few minutes south of the Jarrahdale Road turnoff.
There is an entry fee for Serpentine National Park. Once you get to the car park for the falls, you'll follow an easy track that goes along the Serpentine River to the falls itself at the end of the track.
