A sectional day hike on the Bibbulmun Track, this stretch of the track runs along the Murray River.

A long sectional day walk on the Bibbulmun Track, Yarragil Form to Driver Rd explores a section of Lane Poole Reserve. Badly burnt by the Waroona Fires of 2016, the first half of the walk is dominated by bleak, blackened forest before reaching the Murray River and the Murray campsite. Following the river and the Murray River Valley's rim, the walk greatly improves as it makes its way to the Driver Rd crossing.
