What to expect
Even gravel underfoot with gentle to moderate gradient throughout. The track winds through typical South-West jarrah and marri forest with mixed shade and open sections. Signposting should guide you clearly; surfaces remain firm underfoot in dry conditions but may be muddy after rain.
Good to know
Carry at least 1–2 litres of water; there are no reliable water sources on the track. Summer heat can be intense—start early and watch for bushfire risk during fire season. Sturdy walking shoes or mountain bike tyres handle gravel well. Spring wildflowers are worth timing your visit for.
