What to expect
A short, level unpaved track with minimal gradient. The surface is unformed earth typical of the South-West region. Signposting should be clear for such a short route. Expect variable shade depending on local vegetation; the area is open to sun exposure in places, so midday summer heat can be noticeable.
Good to know
Carry water even on short walks, especially in warmer months. Wear sturdy walking shoes or boots to handle the unpaved surface. Summer brings bushfire risk in the region; check conditions before heading out. The track is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
