What to expect
An unpaved forest track with moderate gradient and fairly consistent footing underfoot. The route winds through typical South-West jarrah and marri woodland with variable shade depending on canopy density. Signposting should guide you, though the track is well-used locally. Some sections may be softer after rain.
Good to know
Carry water even for a short walk in WA—the South-West heat builds quickly. Wear sturdy walking shoes or boots for unpaved terrain. Summer (Dec–Feb) brings bushfire risk; check conditions before heading out. Spring wildflowers brighten the forest August to October.
