This trail traverses the rock on the opposite side of the highway to the Railway Walk and Granite Gardens Walk.

Kwolyin is about 200km (2.5 hours) via York. It's about 100km east of York and 40km west of Bruce Rock.  While you are in the area check out the Wheatbelt's newest self-drive trail - the Granite Way. The 60km trail takes visitors on a journey to some of the most amazing and iconic granite rocks in the Wheatbelt, spectacular nature reserves and farming vistas.

To get there from Perth, travel east on Great Eastern/ Southern Highway towards York, then follow the road sign to Quairading and then Bruce Rock. The campsite is on the left-hand side off Quairading-Bruce Rock road, clearly signposted about 40km before Bruce Rock.
