Helena National Park is nestled in the Perth Hills. The park has lots of ridges and valleys, with beautiful jarrah/marri forest and wandoo woodland. It’s a wonderful area for bushwalking, with the famous Bibbulmun Track passing through.
Don’t miss the park’s major attraction accessible by road. From the lookout, Mount Dale offers panoramic views of the Darling Ranges, Darkin River Valley, and areas of state forest. This is the highest point on the Darling Scarp and provides an ideal drop-off/pick-up point for a walk along a section of the Bibbulmun Track.
Mount Dale Picnic Area is in a clearing in jarrah / marri forest located along Dale Road, just below the summit of Mount Dale. It has a couple of picnic tables and toilet facilities, and some open rocky areas nearby from which there are views out over the forest.
The picnic area is within walking distance of the summit of Mount Dale and the lookout following the type: entry-hyperlink id: 7oYyrNy3SDvdfbAfIiPs78 but has its own separate parking area.
