Hard track
Starting from the car park on Westrail Maintenance Road, Brigadoon, this walk takes you on a circuit past the summit of Mount Mambup. The flora of Mount Mambup mainly consists of grass trees and eucalyptus. There are also rocky outcrops and grassy areas. Seasonal wildflowers colour the trail sides, and from autumn to spring, the area is green and lush. Hikers may be lucky enough to encounter a few wild kangaroos along the trek. The climb to the summit of Mount Mambup is quite challenging, as the hike is relentlessly uphill. The trail evens out at the summit of 220m, revealing fine views east to the railway line and Swan River and west to Perth and the coastal plain. After passing the summit, there's a sharp descent back down to just above the river, paralleling the Pilgrim's Trail. The gradient eases up a bit during the last stretch, and the trail continues alongside Swan River back to the car park. The trail has spots with rocky and loose terrain, and some sections are slightly overgrown. Many of the trails overlap at times, and the main route isn't always obvious due to a lack of signage. Due to the exposed landscape, it's best to get started early on hot days as shade is limited. This is quite an enjoyable loop with varying terrain and amazing views, yet it requires some fitness for the steep ascents and descents. Let us begin by acknowledging the Whadjuk people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
