The hike from Yabberup to Noggerup takes you through varied terrain: native forest and pretty farmland, along a dam and a section of railway track, plus another fabulous little National Park with plenty of wildflowers.
Noggerup to Grimwade is a tough day, with a relatively long distance combined with significant elevation gains. But there are many wildflowers and new orchid species to be found in the leafy forests, which are a joy.
Today is fun and a relief after yesterday’s challenges, with many smaller ups and downs and an overall descent. You’ll also see more orchids and swathes of wildflowers in spring.
The day out of Collie begins in Westralia Conservation Park. This wildflower mecca is a highlight for plant and orchid lovers. You can walk the spur trail back out or catch a taxi to the cemetery, then walk up to the track.
