Starting from the car park off Tinglewood road, Broke, this return walk takes you to the Mount Clare Summit and back via the Bibblemun Track. The path follows a dense forest that hosts enormous karri and tingle trees, isolating one instantaneously. The Summit offers you great views of the Walpole Wilderness and the Southern Ocean. Bringing insect repellent is a great idea to be protected from march flies. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
