Adrenaline Seekers

Departing from Perth, a little over two hours of driving will take you to Wellington National Park, where the Mount Lennard Trails are located. The trail network comprises six loop trails ranging from 4km to 11.5km through jarrah forest. The Grizzley, Boylan, Butchers, and Pallet Track trails are rated moderate (blue), while the Wals and Millbrook trails are difficult (black) and suitable for experienced riders.

After riding, head into Ferguson Valley or Collie for a paddock-to-plate lunch and check in for the night, ready for an even bigger day on the bikes.

Start the day at The Wagon — a coffee stop in an old railway carriage in the heart of Collie — then head out to Arklow Trails, a network spanning over 35km through jarrah forest. Mix easy flow trails with technical climbs depending on the energy in the legs.

Roll on to The Kiosk at the Dam for lunch beside Wellington Dam Wall and Quarry, home to the world's largest dam mural — 8,000m² of public art across the dam wall.

Wrap the trip at Wagyl Biddi Trails — the name means 'path through the forest' in Aboriginal Noongar language — a fitting way to finish a weekend that's been all about getting deep into the South West forest.
