What to expect
A gravel track with gentle to moderate grades through dry sclerophyll forest. Underfoot, expect well-maintained gravel with roots and stones; the track is reasonably clear and should be adequately signposted. Shade is plentiful beneath jarrah and marri, though exposed sections may occur. The walk is steady rather than steep.
Good to know
