Completed in about 4 hrs. Trail was not well signposted in some places. But lovely walk a mixture of bushland mostly but also past houses. Always fun to look at. Watch out for dogs off leashes past golf course..

A few good sections in bushland, a few very unpleasant sections along very busy streets. The stretch along Gentle Road felt unsafe for lack of footpath. Not enough signaling and facilities (toilets or even picnic tables. Overall it was underwhelming.

If the council put some time and $$ it Has potential to be a really cool loop! But the trail as it stands at the moment is beyond a poor excuse for a trail. Not worth riding in my opinion and if you think otherwise then hit us up and ill take you out on some really cool trails

I feel like the other reviews have gone a bit soft on this "trail". In fact, its not even a trail at all. Its a few rough cut tracks through the bush linked up with road sections so it can be called a "circuit". The signage is almost non-existant. The first time you ride this you will need a map and gps otherwise you will go wrong at most turns. The bush sections are either rocky nightmare or sandy surprise, there really is very little in between. Almost all fast downhill sections end in either a boggy complete right angle turn or a (blind) unrideable gate. Some of the access points are stiles which bikes have to be lifted over. I really just think this trail was Kwinana council's attempt to put something on paper but on no good day would I call this a bike trail and I dont even think it should qualify to be on this website.

Poorly signed where it meets with roads and large sections are just sand. For a trail advertised for bikes and prams, the gates do a good job of keeping you out - have to lift the bike over the fence to get onto the track and each time I cross a road

Overall an enjoyable trail. I agree with some other reviews that it's easy to go off track on parts of the trail, but worth driving to Kwinana for.

Abit disappointing. Poorly marked when it drifts onto the roads. Bit of a tour of Boganville instead of nature

Really great ride! Would have to agree with the previous review though, they definitely have to review the signage in some areas. Feel pretty lucky such a cool track so close to home. Nice mix of bush and road. Will definitely be riding it again ASAP ^_^

Easy to access and walk. I have done it in just over 3.5 hours. There are some parts of this trail, especially to the west, that are bit confusing and without GPS and KML of the trail one could easy go off track.
