Ideas to keep you busy during isolation

Normally we would only use the word ‘isolation’ when we are trying to suss out the best isolated camping spots to take your trusty Toyota. As times are a little different, we are giving you some ideas on what you can do during isolation. See below our top picks:

Get some fresh air

We are spoilt in Perth for walking trails, whether you want to walk in the hills or along the coast there will be a walking trail that suits you. Even during isolation, we are able to get out and about so make the most of it. See below our recommendations:

Kings Park 

Wireless Hill Heritage Trail

Jarrahdale 

Lesmurdie Falls 

Mosman Park Heritage Trail 

Rous Head Ocean Walk
