What to expect
A gravel track with gentle to moderate gradient, winding through karri and marri forest typical of the South-West. The surface is stable underfoot but can be uneven in places after rain. Sections offer dappled shade beneath the trees, though some open areas expose you to the elements. The track is generally well-formed and straightforward to follow.
Good to know
Carry water, especially in warmer months—South-West summers are hot and dry. Wear sturdy walking shoes or boots for the gravel surface. Spring wildflowers (Aug–Oct) are worth timing your visit. In summer, be aware of bushfire risk and check conditions locally before heading out.
