What to expect
Uneven gravel underfoot with persistent gradient — this is a genuine uphill push rather than a gentle ramble. The track winds through dense woodland offering good shade from karri and jarrah, but exposure increases on more open sections. Signposting and track definition are generally clear, though the gravel surface can be rough and loose in places, especially after rain.
Good to know
Carry plenty of water; the South-West heat builds quickly and this challenging pace will dehydrate you fast. Wear sturdy walking boots with good ankle support for the uneven gravel. Spring (August–October) offers wildflowers and cooler conditions. Avoid summer heat and bushfire risk. Check conditions before departure.
