Kattamorda Heritage Trail 

 

 

The Kattamorda Heritage Trail is a 27km walk track which starts at Mundaring Weir Road and traverses forests, orchard and farmland along the top of the Darling Range to Carmel , where it descends via Bickley Balley to Bickley Reservoir. It features sites of significance in the history of the timber, forestry, horticultural and tourist industries, the Goldfields Water Scheme, and the area's natural history. The length of the trail provides an interesting and challenging excursion for experienced bushwalkers, while easy vehicle access to several pick-up points along the way allows the trail to be covered in more leisurely short stages.

Mundaring is 30km north-east of Perth via Great Eastern Highway ( National Highway 94), a drive of approximately half an hour. The trail can also be commenced at Bickley Reservoir, about 20km south-east of Perth on Dardinge Road (via Albany Hwy and Maddington Road ).

Please note:

  • Refreshments are available at Mundaring, the Weir Tavern and during normal shopping hours at Pickering Brook Store.
  • Youth Hostel accommodation can be arranged at Mundaring Weir and Piesse Brook Youth Hostels.
  • Persons using this Heritage Trail do so at their own risk.
