Wander through the forests around Dwellingup to see some of the best Jarrah and Marri trees. The King Jarrah Walk Trail begins at the edge of the forest near Nanga Mill Campsite. The track will take you up through the hills and incredible jarrah forests, before descending to trace the banks of the Murray River. Expect some steep sections on the western side of the trail. Keep your eyes peeled for the 400-year-old Jarrah tree – from which the trail got its name – and the old logging railway formation with cuttings and old bridge sites. The best time to visit is autumn through to late spring, as the summer months will prove too hot for the vigorous walk.
