About this audio guide
This guide to Lesmurdie Falls National Park, east of Perth on the Darling Scarp, follows the seasonal gamble locals take every winter, timing a visit to the brook's short flowing season before it dries out for summer. Along the way it tours the park's trail network, runners, cyclists and horse riders who treat it as an open-air gym. It also stops at a stretch of road near the carpark where the land itself seems to play a trick on drivers.
