Located 2.5 hours south of Perth on the South West Highway, the Greenbushes Loop is a rewarding 16km trail (4-6 hours approx) that is worth checking out on your next trip to the area. Setting off from the Greenbushes Discovery Centre in the heart of town, the trail visits several historic town sites such as Schwenke's Dam, remnant of the old Vultan Tin Mine and Mt Jones Dam.
Included on the loop is a section of the world famous Bibbulmun Track that takes in the beautiful forest and sweeping views of the Blackwood farming valley. After leaving the Bibbulmun Track, the trail makes its way back to the town of Greenbushes where you can reward yourself with a tasty treat from the cake shop or a well earned drink from one of the two pubs in town. This trail won’t disappoint and is well worth the detour if you are planning a holiday in the South West.
The trail was once a part of the old railway network that was built during the timber boom. The trail begins or ends (depending where you start) at Cowaramup and finishes at Margaret River. Approximately 13.5km of trail has been developed as a multi-use trail for walking, cycling and horse riding. The trail is wide enough for two horses to walk comfortably side by side. The trail follows the alignment of the Discontinued Busselton-Flinders Bay Railway line
Along the 5 kilometres north of Margaret River there are numerous bridges crossing a major river and creeks and streams of varying sizes. The trail is easy to navigate with picnic areas along the way. The spectacular birdlife includes yellow robins, parrots and blue wrens and the wildflowers are stunning in Spring (September to December). As it was a railway, the gradient is relatively flat, and the terrain is generally gentle.
South Ridge is the easiest track up Mt Barney (but it's NOT easy!). Sometimes referred to as Peasants' Ridge (a dig that only Peasants would take such a boring route up the mountain), South Ridge is an excellent choice for a first ascent of Barney. The track has triangular trail markers but there are still opportunities for navigational difficulties if you're inexperienced.
You MUST start early in the day. Expected time is 8-10 hours with almost 1200m of climbing from the carpark. Make sure to leave early to allow time for any mishaps and be prepared to turn back if necessary.
This walk is part of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, starts and finishes at the railway station. Coominya is a small town but has all services. A large and impressive rail bridge along the track but not accessible, a lower river crossing. The walk passes through farm lands so plenty of gates to open and shut but not a walk to complete in Summer months. The trail is well marked so maps are not required. Lowood is accessible after a turnoff at Fernvale which is situated on the Brisbane Valley Highway. Public amenities and car parking at both ends of the walk. No permits or costs for the walk.
