Explore the Balmoral Trail on foot -
The trail takes in the Balmoral Prisoner of War (POW) Camp and winds through bushland and farmland. Keep an eye out for the remnants of a log loading ramp and the 'shield trees' along the trail. These 'shield trees' have carved numbers and were once used as a grid reference system by foresters in the 1920s.
As you journey along, you will encounter interpretive signage narrating the history of the area and the significance of the scattered ruins that remain. The walk trail is guided by triangular markers with a hiking boot symbol.
At one point, the trail crosses private property, where stiles have been provided to provide access to walkers. Walkers are encouraged to stay on the designated trail and minimise disturbance.
The trail can be completed in either direction. Walkers also have the option of joining the trail from Jarrahdale townsite by following the Munda Biddi Trail.
Note: if you're planning to cycle the Balmoral Trail, please refer to the Balmoral Cycle Trail as the routes differ.
