What to expect
An unpaved forest track with moderate gradient. The South-West's typical jarrah and marri forest will provide dappled shade along the route. Track condition depends on recent weather; expect some root and stone underfoot. Signposting should guide you, though conditions vary seasonally.
Good to know
Carry water even on shorter walks; South-West heat builds quickly. Wear sturdy walking boots for unpaved terrain. Avoid summer months (Dec–Feb) due to bushfire risk and heat. Spring (Aug–Oct) offers pleasant conditions and wildflowers. Check local fire danger ratings before heading out.
