Julimar State Forest & Toodyay Wildflower Day Trip

Arrive at 8:30 am at Zarraffa’s Coffee, Ellenbrook, for an 8:45 am departure through Bullsbrook and Chittering to the Julimar State Forest, to take a short forest stroll with orchids, pea flowers, and hakeas along a segment of the Camino Salvado trail
Stop in Toodyay to pick up takeaway coffee from Toodyay Bakery or Cola Café (or bring along your Thermos: home-baked cookies will be on offer).

Meet at the Pelham Reserve Lookout car park. The more energetic can take the Short Lookout Loop through carpets of Pink everlastings and sundews in the wandoo woodland. The rest can relax with refreshments and enjoy the Avon Valley views. Clean toilets and seating are in the reserve.

A short drive will take us to the last segment of the Majestic Heights Reserve trail to see spider orchids, everlastings, and ridge shrubland. Then to the Panorama Reserve to take in the banksias, shrubland species, and views of the Old Clackline Railway, if time allows.

We arrive at Noble Falls Tavern for lunch at around 1:30 pm.
