Really lovely walk! Not much to add to Emma's comment below. Besides from a few steep sections, the walk is very pleasant and lovely karris all around!

A great, relatively short hike. The forest is beautiful to walk through and the trail is well marked. There are a few steep-ish ascents, but they are fairly short and interspersed with long flat sections. It took us just over 2 hours to complete it. I couldn't remember the name of the cafe that was on the walk, so it would be good if the sign for Berry Farm had a food/coffee symbol on it as it didn't seem like that was going to be the cafe as it appeared to be a slight detour off the track. But, if you remember the name this isn't really a problem! Definitely recommend this walk if you are in the area.
Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
