Trail Notes

Start point: The parking area at the northern end of the oval. The start point is a Shire of Kalamunda walk trail sign with a red marker in the corner.

1. A T-junction, turn right. Ignore several tracks to the left.
2. Turn left at the T-junction.
3. Go straight through the crossroad.
4. Turn left here. It is a T-junction, turn down the shaft of the T. Look carefully for the marker on a tree.
5. At this Y-junction, take the left fork as indicated by the trail marker.
6. When you reach the formed road, Carinyah Road, turn left.
7. After a short distance, take the left fork onto a good track which was probably an old railway line. Ignore several tracks to the left and right.
8. Cross the creek at a collapsed bridge. This is about the half-way point of the walk.
9. Turn left off the main track at an indistinct cross road. This turning point is not easy to see, it is in a natural clearing and there is a fallen tree to the right of the track.*The section of the track between waypoint 9 and waypoint 10 is overgrown, and several fallen trees have to be negotiated.
10. Reach the rear of a farm and turn left at the T-junction
11. Canning Road is about 30 metres to your left.
12. This is point 1. Turn right here and walk to the car park to complete the walk.
