Old Timberline and Sidings Rail Trail (Nannup)

 


One of TrailsWA's Top Trails, this 37 kilometre loop combines the Old Timberline Rail Trail with part of the Sidings Rail Trail. Starting in Nannup and crossing the Blackwood River, the Old Timberline heads along some twisty single track through to the lush Jarrah forest along St Johns Brook and Barrabup Pool before visiting Sleeper Hewer's Hut and returning to Nannup via the Sidings Trail. One of Western Australia's best rail trail experiences

Munda Biddi Trail (WA) - Bidjar Ngoulin to Lake Brockman


Day 7 of the Munda Biddi Trail, this section takes cyclists from Bidjar Ngoulin hut to the shores of Lake Brockman. Heading uphill from the hut and through the Nanga Rd tunnel, most of the day is spent through areas burnt in the  Waroona Fires and scarred by Alcoa's mining operations. With largely downhill gradients and a strong finish at Lake Brockman/Logue Brook Dam as saving graces, this is nevertheless the worst day of the Munda Biddi

Munda Biddi Trail (WA) - Carinyah to Wungong


The second day of the Munda Biddi Trail, this section takes cyclists from Carinyah to Wungong campsite. Starting as a fun descent to Brookton Hwy, the trail goes through a mix of uninspiring scrappy Jarrah with some nice views of granite formations as it goes up and down the hills to Gleneagle before a nice easy roll into Wungong. A mixed second day of the trail

Carmel Walk (Korung National Park)


A short forest stroll in Korung National Park, the Carmel Walk follows a figure eight through a parcel of burnt Jarrah forest. Starting at Morton Rd, the trail loops through the charred trees over its first loop before passing a cherry blossom orchard and into the nicer second loop. Returning to the orchard, the trail passes by a section that is home to cockatoos. An uneventful walk that is not one of the Shire of Kalamunda's best

Wiilman Bilya Trail (Wellington National Park)


The first part of a planned multi-day loop in Wellington National Park, the Wiilman Bilya Trail follows the shores of Wellington Reservoir from Coalfields Hwy to Wellington Dam itself.  Passing through some of the finest Jarrah forest in Australia to the excellent Nyingarn campsite, the trail is left down by some compromised route choices and severe burns through extended sections that spoil the trail's natural beauty and potential
