Read more about this trail

Follow the black markers for a rich karri experience, and step out along this trail which starts from the Gloucester Tree picnic site.  Although quite steep and difficult in sections, the trail is very rewarding.  It loops through the towering karri forest – both young and old – in the Gloucester National Park, then leads you over hills, down gullies and across hidden creeks and waterfalls with moss-covered logs as foot bridges.

Really lovely walk! Not much to add to Emma's comment below. Besides from a few steep sections, the walk is very pleasant and lovely karris all around!

A great, relatively short hike. The forest is beautiful to walk through and the trail is well marked. There are a few steep-ish ascents, but they are fairly short and interspersed with long flat sections. It took us just over 2 hours to complete it. I couldn't remember the name of the cafe that was on the walk, so it would be good if the sign for Berry Farm had a food/coffee symbol on it as it didn't seem like that was going to be the cafe as it appeared to be a slight detour off the track. But, if you remember the name this isn't really a problem! Definitely recommend this walk if you are in the area.
