Only 90 minutes south of Perth, on the outskirts of the town of Harvey in Australia's South West, this delightful 1.4 km short trail has stunning views over the backwaters of the Harvey Dam to the East and all the way to the coast on the western side. The trail passes several large granite outcrops and is ablaze with wildflowers in Spring.

The trail is gently undulating and suitable for most fitness levels. There are a number of seats provided along the trail where you can sit and take in the stunning views. Bird life is prolific in the area and if you are lucky you may spot a bright blue wren flitting between the undergrowth.

There is a sealed road all the way to the trailhead and a small gravel carpark with room for several cars. The trail is signed on the South West Hwy and Honeymoon Rd.

A wood fire BBQ (byo wood) and picnic table is provided and it is the perfect spot for a relaxing bush picnic after completing the trail. Please check with the Shire of Harvey about when you are allowed to light a fire.

As far as hikes go, this is no Bibbulmun Track but for the views alone, this is well worth the short drive off South West Highway to have a look.

The hike itself is only short (1.4km) and well marked. It’s a little steep and rugged in places but needs no special skills or gear. Just a camera, common sense and good pair of walking shoes. There is a gravel car park just off Honeymoon Road at the start of the trail. There are some picnic benches along the way as well as lookout benches at some of the more spectacular vistas. It is so peaceful to sit at the top of the world where it’s a lot less crowded. Taking time out to embrace this special place will do more for your mental health than any number of doctor appointments. Spectacular views, incredible granite outcrops, bird life, beautiful trees and forests.

Take a few minutes out of your journey to stop off at this incredible place and realise there are more important things in life than rushing to your destination to catch up on the latest Netflix episode.

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.
