Gorrie Road
About this track
Gorrie Road is a challenging 8.5 km unpaved track near Mundaring, suited to experienced walkers and off-road cyclists. The route traverses rugged bushland typical of Perth's eastern foothills, where jarrah and marri forest give way to granite-studded terrain. Allow around two hours to complete the full distance at a steady pace.

- Jarrah and marri forest sections
- Two-hour full-distance option
What to expect
Rough, rocky unpaved surface with variable gradient—expect steep sections and uneven ground that demands good foot placement. Limited shade in open areas; dense bush provides cover elsewhere. The track is likely signposted but remote, so navigation care is needed. Conditions can be muddy after rain and dust-dry in summer.
Good to know
Carry plenty of water—no reliable sources on-track. Wear sturdy hiking boots or appropriate off-road bike tyres. Summer heat and bushfire risk make this a better autumn–spring option. Check local conditions before visiting, especially after wet weather. Dogs are often restricted in bushland reserves; confirm access rules locally.
