What to expect
An unpaved track with a moderate, manageable gradient. Expect dappled shade from jarrah and marri forest typical of the Collie region. The surface will be firm underfoot but can be soft after rain. Track should be clearly marked; watch for roots and stones. Limited open sections.
Good to know
Carry water, especially in warmer months. Wear sturdy walking boots or shoes for grip on unpaved ground. Spring (Aug–Oct) brings wildflowers and comfortable temperatures. Summer heat and bushfire risk mean early starts are wise. Check local conditions before you go, and allow extra time if the track is wet.
