What to expect
An unpaved track through native forest with gentle to moderate terrain. The surface will be soft earth and leaf litter, typical of South-West bushland. Expect some gentle grades and occasional exposed roots. Tree cover should provide reasonable shade, though open sections may occur. The track should be clearly defined, though wet conditions may affect footing in winter and spring.
Good to know
Carry water and sun protection; summer brings heat and bushfire risk to the area. Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking boots or shoes with good grip for unpaved terrain. Spring (Aug–Oct) offers pleasant walking weather and wildflowers. Check local fire danger ratings before visiting in warmer months. Dogs are typically not permitted on Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions tracks.
