Kalamunda - Arts & Crafts Almost adjacent to the old Kalamunda train station is this arts and crafts shop domiciled in an old freight car. This was a guard's van and you can still sit in a "monkey box". July 2008 |

Kalamunda - Jorgensen Park A stone's throw away from the hustle & bustle of Kalamunda village, here is Jorgensen Park. An old golf course from many years ago given way to bush walking and dog running. Just up around this "fairway" is part (the start) of the famous Bibbulmun Track. If you like you can walk along the whole 963 kilometers all the way to Albany! July 2008 |

|
Kalamunda - Haynes Street Now, apart from the different photo angle, can you see the difference between this picture and the two of the same tavern above? Yes, you're right. Sometime in the last 2 1/2 years the owners have changed the name from "Last Drop" to "Best Drop". February 2011 |
|
|
Kalamunda - Haynes Street A little south of the "Last Best Drop" is this shop - Pickwick's secondhand, rare and antique books. I love this type of shop. February 2011 |
|
|
Kalamunda - Hotel The Kalamunda Hotel at the "top" end of town. Well we had a couple in the Last Drop so how about sampling the wares in here too? 2008 |

|
Kalamunda - Agricultural Hall This is building is south of Kalamunda a bit - down Canning Road on the way to Lesmurdie. The building was established in 1896. Is doesn't look that old, just built to look old - perhaps had a few facelifts along the way? February 2011 |
|
|
Kalamunda - Performing Arts Right next door to the Agricultural Hall is this Performing Arts Centre. In fact it's a mirror image of the other building which seems to strengthen my building age theory? February 2011 |
|
|
Kalamunda - Stirk Cottage Now this is a really old building. Stirk Cottage was constructed in 1881 and was the very first house to be built in Kalamunda. It was build by Frederick and Elizabeth Stirk. The building was subsequently enlarged between first being built and 1895. February 2011 |
