Just shy of a one-hour drive from Claravale, Helena National Park is situated 25km south east of Kalamunda, making it a straightforward drive off Brookton Highway (route 40). This National Park offers lots of things to do and see, and you’ll be keen to climb and take photos of the beautiful vistas. A must-do when visiting the park is to head for Mount Dale, which leads to one of the highest points in the Darling Scarp. To reach this spot, turn off Brookton Highway, take Ashendon Road and after about 5km, you’ll find Mount Dale Road. After about 13km, you’ll reach the lookout. Both these roads are unsealed with two wide lanes, so any car should be fine tackling the trip. Get your cameras ready because you’ll be rewarded with an exceptional 360-degree view of endless trees and natural surroundings. It’s a beautiful spot to take a few minutes and discover something so beautiful which perhaps you didn’t know was so close to home.
There are walking trails which are helpfully signed, picnic tables and clean campsites. Whether you want to challenge yourself with an energetic hike or simply would like to get in touch with nature and admire the local flora and fauna while enjoying a picnic, this is one to add to the list.
If you’re craving a sea change, pack the beach umbrella, bathers and slip, slop, slap your way to a day of sunshine and sandy feet. Just over half an hour’s drive from Claravale, you’ll be in the bustling Rockingham foreshore, where you’ll find restaurants, cafes, shops and of course, the ocean. Take your friends and family along, and head out for lunch at one of the popular restaurants or cafes like Lu Lu’s, Pam Beach Café or Jaffelato. Or you could just pick a spot and watch the world go by on the beachfront benches. Consisting of Railway Terrace, Beach Plaza and The Boardwalk, there’s something for all to sit, play and watch. This award-winning revitalised precinct is an iconic destination, and you wouldn’t be a true local without giving it a try.
Elizabeth Quay
When you’re a Claravale resident, you’ll have access to our stunning Perth CBD via train, bus or car. Under a 40-minute drive away, make a day of it and visit Elizabeth Quay, home to Perth’s entertainment, recreation, art and heritage hub on the edge of the Swan River. With plenty to do and see, head to stunning urban locale to celebrate a special occasion at one of the river-side bars, enjoy five-star dining at one of the restaurants, a family burger night, choose an ice cream or walk across the bridge which is lit up at night. It’s the perfect spot to get out and about and tick off your list, while being very Instagram worthy too.

Wungong Regional Park
Who would have thought this gem lies just a 15-minute drive from Claravale? Wungong Regional Park is another open space to add to your list of getaways on your doorstep.

For the mountain bikers, adventure enthusiasts or families who love to get out and about, why not tackle the challenging 12.6km loop trail or simply find a parking spot, have a wander and enjoy a packed lunch overlooking the dam. Sunflowers in spring, the ever-changing patterns on the water and seasonal blooming flora, this is another place which is so close to home yet you’ll feel a million miles away.
Enjoy a day out in Fremantle

It’s a real foodie hotspot and is home to some of the latest and greatest restaurants in the Perth scene, like Emily Taylor, Bread In Common or Tonic & Ginger located inside The Arbor. If caffeine and cake is what’s called for, take a stroll down down the iconic café strip with classic Italian and ice cream shops to die for.
