Just 6.5km from Mundaring, Perth Hills Discovery Centre offers a tranquil setting for functions and events. With a campground and indoor and outdoor space for hire, the centre is a multi-purpose venue where you can be immersed in nature just an hour’s drive from Perth. Mix up meetings with walks through the forest along the Bibbulmun Track where you might meet some of our resident kangaroos or other wildlife. 

Perth Hills Discovery Centre’s charming timber buildings are original forestry offices and cottages. Some are from the Mundaring Weir Forestry Settlement established in 1924 for forestry workers. Other buildings were brought from other Forests Department locations, the Marri Building was originally an operations office at Gnangara State Forest. Perth Hills Discovery Centre was originally known as The Hills Forest and was formally opened in 1994. In 2024, we are celebrating 30 years of operation of this bespoke all-abilities centre providing education programs for schools and community, a stunning campground and a beautiful rest stop for hikers on the Bibbulum Track.
