As we pass through this wonderful landscape, we acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people as the custodians of the land on which we walk and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

This nine-kilometre trail links riders and walkers from Spring Road in Kalamunda, to Canning Road in Pickering Brook, passing through the locations of the old railway sidings and taking in the diversity of flora and fauna the area has to offer.

 

The trail’s design factors in multiple uses, users and abilities and is marked by a Donkey Orchid symbol that distinguishes it from intersecting trails that works to literally keep you on track. Signage was developed for the Stage 1 trail.

 

The City of Kalamunda funded project, was completed with assistance from  Western Trails Alliance Ltd (WTA) volunteers who spent over 1000 hours creating a safe recreational space for the community to enjoy.
