Darwinia Drive Trail

The Darwina Drive Trail will take you into the heart of the woodlands. The 23km drive is broken up into five designated pull-over bays where interpretive information is provided on the complexity and interdependence of natural systems at Dryandra.

Take along a picnic lunch or go on a short walk to search for orchids near the granite outcrop at the final stopping point. Start from the information shelter at the Old Mill Dam picnic area and then turn onto Gura Road. Look for the Banksia symbol along the drive.
