Chelle Fisher rated Mount Burnett Trail, Mount Frankland South NP a 3 out of 5
Hidden little gem I happened to find on the way back from hiking Mount Pingerup. Nice little trail with beautiful views of the Walpole Wilderness.

The Mount Burnett Trail provides walkers with a great place to stop for a picnic and a short bush walk when travelling between Manjimup and Walpole.
This one kilometre loop starts from the picnic area heads down to a boardwalk over a wetland alive with the sound of frog calls. Once back on dry land, the trail skirts the southern side of Mount Burnett and you'll pass through jarrah forest that is blooming with wildflowers in spring. A short steep section takes you past grasstrees to a lookout at the top of Mount Burnett where you have views over the Walpole Wilderness.
Follow the trail down a steep path off the rock and back into the forest. The vegetation is completely different on this northern side and you'll pass through a grove of bull banksias.
With the added bonus of picnic tables and toilets, this walktrail may just become your favourite place to stop between Manjimup and Walpole.
