Armstrong Road
About this track
Armstrong Road is a moderate 2.8 km track near Collie, suitable for walkers and riders seeking a half-hour outing through bushland. The unpaved surface and steady gradient make it a solid mid-week walk or easy ride. It's accessible year-round but best tackled in cooler months when the South-West's heat is less demanding.
Highlights
- 2.8 km unpaved track near Collie
- Moderate gradient, 40 minutes return
- Jarrah and marri forest typical of South-West
- Quieter alternative to busier trails
- Suitable for walkers and mountain bikers
What to expect
Unpaved track with moderate, manageable gradient. The surface is likely a mix of dirt and gravel typical of South-West forest access roads. Expect partial to dappled shade from jarrah and marri canopy, though exposed sections are common. Track should be signposted or well-defined; drainage can be slow after winter rain.
Good to know
Carry 1–2 litres of water. Wear sturdy footwear or mountain-bike-appropriate shoes. Avoid mid-summer (Dec–Feb) heat; walk in autumn, winter or spring. Check local fire bans in summer—the South-West carries bushfire risk. Best conditions are July to October after rain clears mud.
