What to expect
A gravel track with moderate but manageable gradient, passing through jarrah and marri forest typical of the Collie region. Signposting should guide you throughout. Expect dappled shade beneath the canopy, though sections may be exposed. The surface is firm underfoot when dry; after heavy rain it may be muddy in patches.
Good to know
Carry at least one litre of water per person; South-West summer heat (Dec–Feb) is intense and bushfire risk is high—check conditions before visiting. Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip. Spring (Aug–Oct) offers cooler temperatures and wildflowers. Avoid peak heat of the day in summer.
