A few more Perth (WA) areas off the top of my head:

• Lake Leschenaultia
• Forsyths Mill
• Herdsman Lake
• Kalamunda to Pickering Brook
• Munda Biddi - Mundaring to Pickering Brook and Carinyah
• Helena Valley
• Yaberoo Budjara Heritage Trail
• Railway Reserves Heritage Trail and John Forrest NP
• Kep Track - Chidlow to Lake Leschenaultia and towards Northam
• Zig Zag in Kalamunda

Of those, perhaps Yaberoo Budjara and RRHT are not too far from a train line.

Langford Park in Jarrahdale is a bit further afield, and then there's Dwellingup.
