Lesmurdie Falls National Park is a national park in Western Australia (Australia), 22 km east of Perth.
It is located on the western edge of the Darling Scarp and has commanding views of the Swan Coastal Plain, the city of Perth and surrounding suburbs.
The park contains the 50-metre (164 ft) Lesmurdie Falls, formed by Lesmurdie Brook emptying over the Scarp, and the surrounding riparian and heath vegetation.[2] Wandoo, Jarrah and Marri trees can all be found within the park.
