Capital City Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Capital City Trail follows the Yarra River through leafy stretches of parkland, offering consistent river views as you move between bushland and urban edges. Along this section, the path runs close to the water, where you can watch the current flow past tree-lined banks and pockets of native vegetation. The track is shared with cyclists, so keep left and stay aware of passing traffic.

Dights Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Dights Falls is a picturesque rocky cascade on the Yarra River, situated at the junction with Merri Creek. The falls were created by a low bluestone weir constructed in the 19th century, resulting in a series of rapids that have become a distinctive feature of the river. Surrounded by lush parkland and shared walking and cycling trails, this area is a favourite spot for outdoor enthusiasts, as well as for those who enjoy watching kayakers skilfully navigate the rushing waters.

Janet Millman Reserve

Highlight • Forest

Janet Millman Reserve is an urban bushland reserve in Perth’s eastern suburbs. It’s a relaxed spot with picnic areas and barbecues, and you’ll often see locals out walking their dogs. Dogs are allowed on leash, but don’t worry, your barbecue will be safe - they must be kept at least ten metres away from picnic and barbecue areas.
