Kitty's Gorge Blue Circuit

Starting from Atkins Street, Kitty's Gorge Blue Circuit is a captivating bushwalk accessible from the charming historic town of Jarrahdale. Meandering alongside the serene Serpentine River, the trail unveils the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding landscape, including the majestic Serpentine River Valley and the tranquil Gooralong Brook. Traverse through verdant jarrah forest adorned with striking granite outcrops and cascading waterfalls, creating a mesmerizing natural tapestry. As you journey through the forest, revel in the soothing shade and gentle breezes atop the hilltops. Keep an eye out for the graceful presence of kangaroos amidst the wilderness, accompanied by the delightful chorus of birdsong echoing through the air. Be prepared for challenging terrain featuring steep, uneven sections that demand a certain level of physical fitness to conquer. 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.
