Good to know
Carry water even on a short walk; Perth's summers are hot and dry. Wear sturdy walking shoes for uneven ground. Spring (Aug–Oct) brings wildflowers and cooler temps—ideal timing. Check fire danger ratings in summer; avoid the trail on high-risk days. Dogs are typically not permitted in bushland reserves.
