What to expect
Gravel underfoot with moderate to steep sections, typical of forest terrain in the South-West. The track rolls through mixed jarrah and karri forest with a mix of shaded and exposed sections. Signposting should guide you, though you'll want a map. Uneven ground and tree roots are likely; wear sturdy footwear or appropriate bike tyres.
Good to know
Carry at least two litres of water; summer heat and exposed sections demand hydration. Wear sun protection and a hat. Spring (Aug–Oct) offers wildflower colour and cooler conditions. Check fire danger in summer. The gravel surface suits mountain bikes and sturdy walking boots. No facilities mentioned; plan accordingly.
