Kalamunda - Western Australia
Located on top of the Darling Scarp east of Perth, Kalamunda saw high growth rates in the early 1980s and now is a well developed outer suburb of the main city.
With over 200 orchards in the shire, Kalamunda is regarded as the second largest fruit growing area in the state. About half an hours drive from Perth, Kalamunda is an attractive town with all the facilities of inner suburban living without the traffic and the stress. It's close proximity to the surrounding bush land and several National Parks make it ideal for a days outing. Although the central part of the town is now quite heavily developed, there are still many quiet isolated areas where you can still enjoy the peace and quiet of the bush.
There are a number of different markets held in Kalamunda with one of the most popular being the monthly Village Markets. These are held on the first Saturday of each month and feature arts, crafts and food. Other markets are the Night Markets (October to April on the last Friday of the month) and the Farmers Market held each Sunday.
The local Kalamunda and Districts Historical Society manages one of the best historic museums in the State. The History Village is located on Railway Pde. and features a number of different buildings with interesting displays inside each one.
Despite being just a few kilometres from the heart of Perth, Kalamunda has the look and feel of a country town. There are plenty of things to see and do in the area including a picnic or BBQ at Stirk Park (and a visit to the historic homestead on Sundays 2-4pm), a walk along one of the heritage trails or a visit to Mundaring Weir or Canning Dam.

A Perth Hills Story - Episode 6
If you’ve ever visited the Kalamunda History Village, you’ll know its full of beautifully restored antiques, buildings, and entertaining quirky characters.
Meet Pat, one of those characters. Pat kept us entertained with cheeky anecdotes the whole time we were at the History Village. In fact, we had so much fun that we ran out of time and had to go back the following week to do more filming!
Kalamunda SHS Education Support & City of Kalamunda Railway Heritage Project Collaboration
Projects like this one really highlight how the City of Kalamunda achieves success through partnering with our community to deliver strong community projects.
The City has supported and encouraged the KSHS Education Support Program students to achieve over 400 hours of volunteer time towards their Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
Environmental Education and Training was integrated into the program, so the students could learn about the environment while volunteering their time.
Students undertook environmental management tasks in the ‘outside classroom’, which also helped to achieve targets in the Railway Heritage Trail Reserve Action Plan, developed by the Friends of Railway Heritage Trail.
Over their 24 sessions, the students achieved some fabulous results:
- Over 410 hours of volunteering across the whole year
- Last year: 375 hours of volunteering across 28 weeks
7.5ha of the Railway Heritage Trail Reserve managed, through:
- Rubbish collection,
- Path maintenance,
- Weed removal and
- Revegetation (55 plants), and
- Students got a taste of what environmental work feels like!
The City commends each and every one of the students for their efforts this year.
