Getting there:

Trailhead is located at the Ranger’s Office carpark off Great Eastern Highway. Park entry fees apply - $17.

Ideal for solo adventurers, friends, or nature-loving families (though note: no dogs allowed), this hike offers a refreshing escape into bushland beauty, rich with wildflowers, wildlife, and ancient jarrah-marri-wandoo forests.

Why Join This Walk?

The trail offers a stunning mix of scenic ridge views over Jane Brook and the lush valley below, beginning on the Eagle View Trail before branching east along a dramatic escarpment. You’ll meander through an immersive valley beside a seasonal brook, then climb through enchanting wandoo woodland. Along the way, you’ll encounter natural highlights like granite boulders, sweeping views across the coastal plain, and the peaceful Eagle View lookout, a perfect spot to pause and take it all in.

Meet Your Host

With a desire to experience all that life has to offer and a love for remote landscapes, Lauren has been on the go, doing just that. From the coast, to the mountains, to the desert (and back to the coast), nature quickly became her playground (and office) where she thrives in bringing people together and creating positive experiences!

This event is free! We can't wait to see you there.
