Read more about this trail

Millbrook Trail is a big ride both in length and difficulty with plenty of climbing involved. Make sure you carry adequate of water and only attempt this ride if you are fit and enjoy climbing or are prepared to walk uphill. 

You will find the trail on Pile Rd, just west of the River Rd intersection.

The first bit is an old school rut-a-thon as you bomb down the old track; straight down the hill. Once at the bottom there is a pretty and mellow section as you ride along next to the creek, but once you turn up it gets really steep as you climb back up to the top again. In the last 3km you climb almost 200m. The trail ends on Lennard Road, where you can either get a lift back down the hill or ride the extra 3km back to Pile Rd.

Wellington National Park protects 25,000 hectares of forest in Western Australia's South West, serving as a critical refuge for threatened native animals and over 300 wildflower species.

The forest is predominantly made up of Jarrah, Marri and Yarri / Blackbutt trees, intersperced with Banksia groves and more open granite outcrops. In the cooler months during late autumn and winter, fungi and mosses can be found throughout the area. In spring, the wildflowers bloom, inlcuding colorful Banksias and Grevilleas, Clematis vines and Darwinia shrubs, and smaller plants such as sundews, triggerplants and orchids. 

Over 150 species of birds live in the area, including Black Cockatoos (Red-tailed, Carnaby's and Baudin's), fairy wrens, robins and Currawongs. Threatened mammals such as the Chuditch (Western Quoll), Quokka, Woylie (Brush-tailed Bettong), Southern Brown Bandicoot, Western Ringtail Possum, and Brush-tailed Phascogale can also be spotted. The park's granite gorges and fallen logs provide excellent camouflage for the Carpet Python.
