Blue Wren Ramble Walk

Starting from the car park off Rushton Road, Martin, this walk takes you on a stroll through the Wandoo Woodland, following Ellis Brook. This is a fairly easy walk suitable for beginners in an area with lots of wild birds and plenty of shade. You can have a tranquil experience through the woodland as you traverse with Ellis Brook accompanying you. There are certain rocky places, so you might want to bring hiking shoes with ankle support for a better experience. Please adhere to the 'Dieback Protection Area' rules and use the Cleandown point (COE - Clean on Entry) accordingly. 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.
