From Donnelly River Village, you'll follow the Bibbulmun Track along Andrews Road before heading across the Donnelly River. A gently sloping trail leads you into the karri forest and to the foot of King Karri. 

This forest giant is estimated to be over 200 years old. Its tall straight trunk reaches for the sky and the first branch is 41m above the ground. 

This loop trail continues through the forest. Tread quietly and you may be lucky enough to spot a quokka or a quenda along this trail.
