It was a spontaneous decision to venture into the almost deserted town of Mundaring, armed with the google map on iphone, without a car, we took the public transport; A train to Midland station followed by a bus.
It was a beautiful, quiet little town, nothing like what I expected (since it was said to be a tourism town on the website). Apparently, tourists were a rare sight there. (and the guy who brought us to the Pinnacles the next day was shocked that we went all the way up to Mundaring, he said nobody really goes there!)
The entire Mundaring trail was definitely too much for the folks and I to conquer! We settled for just exploring the town.
