What to expect
Well-formed gravel underfoot with gentle grades — no major climbs or descents. The track winds through typical jarrah and marri forest with patches of denser scrub. Generally shaded by the canopy, though some open sections expose you to sun. Track should be signposted and straightforward to follow, though surfaces may be rougher after rain.
Good to know
Carry water even on a short walk; South-West summer heat can surprise. Wear sturdy, closed shoes for gravel. Spring (Aug–Oct) brings wildflowers to forest margins. Avoid midday in summer; early morning or late afternoon is more comfortable. Check local conditions before visiting.
