What to expect
A gravel track that winds through mixed South-West forest with consistent, rolling terrain. The walk is moderate in gradient—neither flat nor steep—so you'll feel the climb but won't face exposed scrambles. Expect dappled shade from canopy, though patches open to direct sun. The track should be signposted; stay alert at junctions. Surface is firm when dry, can be muddy after rain.
Good to know
Carry plenty of water; no reliable sources on the walk. WA summers are hot and bushfire risk rises November–April—check conditions before visiting and avoid during total fire bans. Wear sturdy walking shoes with grip for gravel. Spring (August–October) brings wildflowers to the forest floor. Dogs are typically not permitted in bushland reserves; check before bringing one.
