Captain Fawcett Track
Named after Captain Theo Fawcett who blazed a trail through the area in the early 1800’s, the Captain Fawcett Track is a great way to experience some of WA’s stunning jarrah forests. Following the meandering path of the Murray River, the track will take you just over 100km from Nanga Mill to the iconic Quindanning Hotel. The best time to go is during either autumn or spring. During winter the track is quite often closed to prevent damage from vehicles driving through muddy tracks and during summer the fire risk can result in total fire/movement bans.
Discover historic farmhouses, original trestle bridges and views that will take your breath away.
It only takes about 4 hours to cover the distance from the start point and Quindanning and there are plenty of spots to stop along the way.
Your starting point is either the intersection of Dawn Creek Road and Nanga Road (Lane Poole Reserve, Dwellingup, app 120km south of Perth) or the Quindanning Hotel.
Please note that this is a day-use track only and camping is not permitted.
