What to expect
Well-defined dirt track underfoot with gentle to moderate grades. The walk feels open and straightforward—no steep climbs or rock hopping. Signposting is basic, so pay attention to the main track line. Shade varies with vegetation along the route; bring a hat and sunscreen for exposed sections, especially in warmer months.
Good to know
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for uneven dirt sections. Carry at least one litre of water—the South-West can be dry, and summer heat is a real risk. Avoid this walk during high fire danger days (summer months). Spring wildflowers may brighten the understory. Check local conditions before heading out.
