Chidlow is a small community in the Shire of Mundaring approximately 45 kilometres east of Perth, Western Australia.

The extension of the Eastern Railway line in Western Australia to Chidlow's Well in 1884 was immediately useful to those in the region, to quote the West Australian of 17 April 1885: Already we find the daily train to be a great convenience. The difficulty of obtaining goods from Perth and Fremantle within a reasonable time is a thing of the past. And the comfort of travelling by train to Chidlow's Well, though nothing to boast of, is certainly better than going by coach, and quicker. Up until its closure, it had tearooms, and the overnight sleeper train 'The Westland' to Kalgoorlie had a refreshment stop at Chidlow. In some regularly reprinted photographs of the station buildings and platform the sign is for Chidlow's Well Refreshment Station. In all Working Timetables (WTT) during the operation of this line, there was an arrival and departure time, owing to either taking on water for steam engines, or change in crew. The Bellevue to Chidlow railway line involved the encounter with the Darling Scarp requiring extra power for the up line, and considerable extra caution for the down line. The station was closed in 1966 at the time of the Avon Valley rail route being opened, and the old Eastern Railway route became superfluous to WAGR needs. The Mundaring and Hills Historical Society usually have a photograph of this railway station in their annual calendar.

Gidgegannup is a township 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. The name Gidgegannup comes from a Noongar word meaning "Place where spears are made", and was first recorded by passing surveyors in 1852.The townsite is situated on Toodyay Road. The locality is drained by the north flowing Wooroloo and Gidgegannup Brooks. Due to low density development, considerable amounts of natural vegetation remain in the area - and the roads to the north of Toodyay Road (O'Brien, Clenton and Berry, and Reen Roads) have been designated Wildflower Scenic Drive.The Gidgegannup Agricultural Society has held over 60 shows at the Gidgegannup showgrounds.

Gidgegannup Important Bird Area is a highly fragmented tract of land, where the fragments are patches of remnant native vegetation, bounded by a circle roughly 12 km in diameter. It is in south-western Western Australia about 30 km north-east of Perth and on the edge of the Perth suburban region. The towns of Gidgegannup and Parkerville lie on the periphery. It has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports at least 450 Baudin's black-cockatoos, as well as small numbers of Carnaby's black-cockatoos, in roost sites outside the breeding season within foraging range of feeding habitat. The IBA also supports red-capped parrots, rufous treecreepers, western spinebills, western thornbills and western yellow robins.

Stoneville is a suburb east of Perth in the Shire of Mundaring, Western Australia. It is named after Edward Albert Stone, who was Chief Justice of Western Australia when the place was named in 1905. The name was chosen by the local residents, who were developing the district for fruit growing. The town's population is 2,050, with a median age of 36 years and 7.1% of residents aged over 65. In a bushfire in January 2014 a considerable number of houses were destroyed.In 2019 local residents resorted to activism in a bid to stop the proposed North Stoneville SP34 development in favour of more sustainable housing. External studies have shown existing road infrastructure can only cater for approx 70 more dwellings and main roads have confirmed there are no upgrades planned for this area intersecting Great Eastern Highway. A special councillors meeting was held in August, at which the Mundaring Shire unanimously rejected the proposal. As of October 2019 the final decision sits with the Western Australian Planning Commission.

Mundaring Cemetery is located at the intersection of Yarri Grove and Railway Terrace, Mundaring, Western Australia. Mundaring Cemetery was gazetted as a burial ground in 1906. Prior to the development of the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board each local council was responsible for maintaining their own cemeteries and trustees were appointed to run a cemetery and pass by-laws. Before the creation of Mundaring Cemetery families travelled to Midland and Guildford for funerals.The Swan Express newspaper suggested the location of the Mundaring Cemetery was not proving an ideal site for "the city of the dead" as the ground was too rocky.The earliest burials took place in the Anglican section of the cemetery and the earliest headstone that survives is that of Albert Lemmey, who died at the age of three in 1916. The next recorded burial was that of Private Gordon Jacques of the 28th Battalion. Jacques had been gassed during World War I and returned home for care, dying shortly afterwards in January 1919. His brother carved the timber enclosure that surrounds the grave.The Mundaring Cemetery is administered by the Shire of Mundaring and, since 2007, is no longer available for interments unless already reserved.
