A gently graded gravel footpath through bushland, flat to rolling terrain with no steep sections. The track is well-maintained and suitable for all fitness levels. Expect dappled shade from native trees, though parts may be open to sun. Signposting should guide you clearly along the route.
Good to know
Carry water even on short walks in WA's climate. Wear sturdy shoes for the gravel surface. In summer, start early to avoid heat; spring wildflowers make this season particularly pleasant. Check local conditions before visiting, especially during bushfire season.
