Starting from Harvey Dam Amphitheatre, the Weir Road Shared Path offers a charming route linking Harvey with the Harvey Dam recreation area, featuring a continuous sealed surface suitable for pedestrians, prams, and cyclists alike. Meandering alongside Weir Road, the path traverses through a scenic landscape comprising bushland, quaint farms, and urban precincts. Notable landmarks include the Parks and Wildlife offices, situated amidst an open expanse once occupied by a cluster of timber mill houses. Remnants of these bygone residences, including a variety of trees from their erstwhile gardens, evoke nostalgic memories of past generations. Wildlife sightings, including kangaroos nestled in the bush during dawn and dusk and the accompaniment of native birds throughout the day, enrich the journey. In late autumn to early winter, the blossoming wattles herald the onset of the wildflower season, lasting until November. Leashed dogs are welcome to accompany their owners along this scenic path. Given limited parking at the town's end, visitors are advised to park at the Harvey Dam recreation area on Weir Road and commence their walk towards town in a westerly direction. Caution is advised at road crossings, especially when accompanied by children. 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.
