This walk leads up the Murray River valley and provides excellent views of the river below. As you follow the route, you transition from jarrah forest and wattles to areas where balgas dominate the granite outcrops. This trail can be enjoyed year-round.

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.
