Cape Le Grand Coastal Trail
20.3 km
Oneway

Walk
6 h, 10 h to 2 days

Starting from the car park off Lucky Bay Road, Cape Le Grand, this walk lets you explore the western coasts of Cape Le Grand. You’ll be visiting Lucky Bay, Thistle Cove and Hellfire Bay. Besides the scenic beaches, you’ll have an option to visit Mount Le Grand as well. Embrace yourself for one of, if not the best coastal walk in Australia. Pristine white sand will warm your feet as you appreciate the vivid colours of the ocean. Crystal clear and welcoming waters combined with the panoramic views may make you take more breaks then you’ve planned to, so give yourself enough time to truly enjoy the trip. There's a campsite midway that can help you divide the walk in two days and make sure you experience everything you want to. Keep an eye out for sunbaking (Australian for sunbathe) kangaroos and join them if you’d like -- from a safe distance of course. Sections of the track may require you to do a bit of clambering over rocks. Depending on the time and conditions, waves can hit those rocks and make you feel like you’re on an even more epic journey. From its hidden coves to clifftop lookouts, Cape Le Grand is a great place to spend your day at. 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.

Starting from the car park at the end of Brockman Street, Nannup, this walk takes you along a disused tramway formation to Cambray Siding via the Old Timberline Rail Trail. The trail begins at Nannup Foreshore Park and follows the route of the Kauri Timber Company's old tramway, passing through St John Brook Conservation Park for much of its length. After crossing the railway bridge over the Blackwood River, the trail heads southwest to join the tramway formation, then passes by spectacular swimming holes and excellent campsites as it winds its way through stands of mature jarrah forest and along the banks of St Johns Brook. Signs explaining the history of the railway and tramway are scattered along the route between Barrabup Pool and Cambray Siding. Suitable for walking and cycling, the trail is mainly compacted earth and gravel, with some narrow and steep sections where it leaves the tramway formation. Camping is available at multiple points, including an overnight option. There are also several points with vehicle access, so you can choose to walk or ride a shorter section. The area is best visited in late winter or early spring when the wildflowers are blooming and the pools are full after the winter rains. We acknowledge the Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the land and waterways on which the rail trail is built. 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.

Starting from Pedal & Flipper on Bedford Avenue, Thomson Bay Settlement, this road biking circuit takes you around Rottnest Island via Parker Point Road, Bovell Highway and Digby Drive. Just thirty minutes west by express ferry from Fremantle lies the beautiful island of Rottnest. With pristine white-sand beaches, tranquil swimming bays and vibrant reefs, Rottnest Island is one of Western Australia's most popular travel destinations. The island is home to colonies of Australian sea lions and southern fur seals and is also well known for its population of quokkas, a small native marsupial found in very few other locations. Many of the island's buildings date from the colonial period, often made from locally quarried limestone, and are now used as accommodation for holidays. The main settlement at Thomson Bay has the best food and drink options with the famous Rottnest Bakery, Rottnest Hotel and a raft of food options in the main mall. Outside of the main settlement, the only places that sell food and drinks are Geordies Cafe at Geordie Bay and Pinky's Beach Club near Bathurst Lighthouse. Rottnest has a loop road linking up the main parts of the island, with a bus running frequently during the day and bus stops at regular intervals. Cars are not allowed on the island, and most visitors either walk or ride bicycles. Cycling is a scenic way to see the island, and you can hire a bike there or bring your own. From Thomson Bay, the cycling path passes Kingstown, then cruises along the southern end of the island, passing Porpoise Bay and Salmon Bay. There are optional detours to Wadjemup Lighthouse and Mary Cove on the way to Cape Vlamingh, the southwestern tip of the island. Pedalling on from Cape Vlamingh, the cycling path heads along the northern end of the island, passing Stark Bay, Catherine Bay, Parakeet Bay, and Geordie Bay. The path continues past the Rottnest Island Golf Course, leading back to Thomson Bay to complete the loop. The island is well signposted, maps are readily available and the roads are relatively flat, with some short hills. Rottnest Island is only 11km long, suitable for cyclists of any level to explore at least a good portion of the island within a single day. With plenty of options to explore and breathtaking ocean views along the way, cycling around Rottnest Island is an excellent adventure. 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.
