What to expect
A gently undulating unpaved track through mature karri woodland. The forest floor is soft underfoot with good drainage. The canopy provides shade for most of the walk, and the track is signposted and easy to follow. Gradient is gradual with no steep sections; expect a steady, comfortable pace.
Good to know
Carry water even on a short walk—forest shade can be deceptive in warm weather. Wear sturdy walking shoes or boots for grip on unpaved ground. Spring (August to October) offers wildflowers in the understorey. Summer brings bushfire risk; check conditions before heading out. Dogs are typically not permitted in this area.
