What to expect
A well-formed track through dense South-West forest. Terrain is generally even with gentle grades typical of timber country. The canopy is thick, offering good shade from the tall trees. Track should be signposted; expect some exposed roots and leaf litter underfoot after rain.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes for uneven forest floor. Carry water, especially in warmer months. Summer brings bushfire risk in the South-West—check conditions before heading out. Spring (Aug–Oct) is ideal for wildflowers and cooler walking. Dogs are generally not permitted on national park and forest tracks.
