We will be following part of the Western 4WDer Magazine 4WD Days out of Perth trip #1 which follows a series of forestry tracks from “the Lakes”, past Mt Observation then through undulating Wandoo forest.
This will be an easy trip and suitable for all vehicles and we expect to be back at Sawyers Valley about 9:30pm. Please note there will be a limit of 15 vehicles due to parking limitations.
The plan is to meet late afternoon and do some of the trip before stopping at Mount Observation for a picnic dinner. There are drop toilets and picnic tables available there. If it is not a Total Fire Ban you should be able to use your own gas stoves to cook or reheat your dinner, otherwise bring a picnic dinner.
After dinner we will continue along the forestry tracks through the lovely Wandoo forest where Track Care has done significant work in the last few years. There are options if people want to leave earlier with a couple of roads heading back to the Great Southern Highway.
Sorry but no dogs (or other pets) are allowed in this park.
There is the option of camping (see photo below) on Saturday night. BYO toilet.
There will be another project, Wandoo #20, starting the next day and you can join into this one as well. Please register for both projects separately.
