Winding next to Bola Creek, the Wallumarra bush track is very pretty, as is the track to Palona. Great rest areas at Bola Picnic Area, and next to the waterfall at Palona Cave, cap off a great walk. While the Wallumarra service trail and the side trip to the Beehives are not the most interesting tracks in Royal National Park, the Wallumarra bush track and the trail to Palona Cave make up for this.

Starting from the corner of Memorial Drive and Miamup Road, Wadandi Track (aka 'Rails to Trails') spans 31 kilometres from Cowaramup to Sebbes Road, located just a short drive south of Witchcliffe. This trail, suitable for both walkers and cyclists, offers a captivating journey through the historical Busselton to Flinders Bay Railway route, showcasing the region's rich heritage. Meandering through picturesque bushlands, farmlands, and vineyards of the Margaret River area, the track presents a diverse landscape featuring peppermint, jarrah, and young karri forests, providing an ideal habitat for various bird species. Originally constructed as a private tramway network for timber transportation, later repurposed by the WA government for the Group Settlement scheme, the railway ceased operations in 1957. Renamed in honour of the local Wadandi clan of the Noongar people, the trail promises a scenic experience, with ample opportunities for birdwatching and admiring vibrant wildflowers during spring. While mostly gentle in gradient due to its railway origins, some sections may pose moderate challenges, making it advisable to use a mountain bike for certain stretches.
