A common loop around the Southwest is to start from Perth, and take the Albany Highway through Mount Barker to Albany, this is a reasonable half-day drive. You can then return via the coast, seeing the trees and wineries in Pemberton, before travelling back via Margaret River, Busselton, Bunbury, and back up through Mandurah to Perth. If doing this loop, it is unusual to allow more than a day for the trip to Albany, as the road is featureless and the towns are small. Allow much more time in Albany, and for the return trip. The roads are slower, and there are many stopping opportunities, beaches, sights and diversions of the roads for parks and walks.
Serpentine Falls has well kept picnic grounds set in natural surroundings. The falls are about 400 m from the picnic grounds but there is a falls car park closer, The falls descend into a deep, clear pool of water which is perfect for swimming. Concrete has been used to make steps that ascend into the water making it easier for those with disabilities. During the weekends, public and school holidays, the falls are usually crowded. Visiting outside of these periods would be a more enjoyable visit. Just outside the town of Serpentine which about 35 minutes drive East of Mandurah.
The Serpentine Falls National Park is open daily from 8:30AM to 5PM daily with an entry fee of $9 per car.
