A diverse and rewarding multi-day section linking the Jarrah forests of Dwellingup to the coal mining heritage town of Collie. Expect flowing forest tracks, remote hut stops and increasing terrain variety as you head south.

Description of the Trail

This extended section leaves Dwellingup’s river valley forests and gradually transitions into quieter, more remote Jarrah and Marri woodland. Daily distances are manageable but consecutive riding days require steady pacing.

The terrain consists mostly of vehicle tracks with occasional narrower single track sections. Elevation is moderate but consistent, rewarding riders with long flowing descents.

Approaching Collie, the landscape begins to open slightly, revealing a mix of forest and cleared areas. The town provides strong resupply and accommodation options.

Highlights
Day 1 – Dwellingup → Swamp Oak Hut (~35 km) Gentle forest introduction with flowing gravel and river proximity. Moderate elevation. Good warm-up day.
Day 2 – Swamp Oak Hut → Murray Hut (~30 km) Deeper Jarrah forest. Rolling terrain and quiet vehicle tracks. Remote feeling increases.
Day 3 – Murray Hut → Yabberup Hut (~32 km) Sustained climbs followed by rewarding descents. Classic Munda Biddi hut spacing.
Day 4 – Yabberup Hut → Noggerup Hut (~30 km) Forest corridor riding with minimal road interaction. Steady pacing required.
Day 5 – Noggerup Hut → Collie outskirts (~28 km) Terrain begins to open slightly. Mixed forest and light clearing.
Day 6 – Collie approach / Recovery day option Optional shorter final approach into Collie with full resupply access.
