Kwolyin Railway Circuit

Starting from Kwolyin Campground, Kwolyin, this walk takes you on a circuit, following an old railway line. It is a suitable walk for families with children. The area hosts a number of wildflowers such as kennedias, rock sheoaks, granite kunzeas, ant orchids and spider orchids. Additionally, visitors can observe the geological rock formations and enjoy the farming vistas that are present. The track is formed, and there are only gentle hilly sections. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
