Starting from the car park off Old Padbury Road, Balingup, Golden Valley Hill View Circuit offers a delightful 45-minute stroll through Golden Valley Tree Park's enchanting Australian Collection. As you embark on this leisurely walk, you'll be treated to picturesque vistas and a diverse array of vegetation, showcasing the natural beauty of the park. Upon entering the Golden Valley Tree Park, visitors are presented with two enticing options: the World Collection or the Australian Collection. Many opt to explore both, given the manageable nature of the tracks. The ascent to the plateau rewards hikers with breathtaking views from Bottle Tree Lookout, named after a distinctive bottle tree imported from Queensland. Along the way, you'll encounter a variety of native flora, including Kurrajong trees, sandalwood, and rare species like the weeping gum. Though the track presents moderate challenges with its uneven terrain and moderately steep sections, a sturdy pair of walking shoes is recommended for comfort and safety. Instead of traditional signage, the track is marked by evenly spaced cairns, adding an element of fun as hikers navigate the path. Suitable for all ages, this track promises a memorable exploration of the Golden Valley Tree Park's natural wonders, offering an enriching experience for visitors of Balingup, situated approximately 240 kilometres south of Perth, Western Australia. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wadandi, Pibulmun and Ganeang people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
