Carmel Western Circuit

Starting from Morton Road, Carmel, this circuit track offers a tranquil journey through lush greenery, giving you a shortened (around 50%) version of the Carmel Walk. It boasts serene surroundings and comes alive with vibrant wildflowers during the blooming season. However, locating the markers might prove challenging as some are scorched or dislodged. Despite this, the trail promises a serene and picturesque experience for those seeking a peaceful escape into nature's embrace. 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.
