King Jarrah Heritage Trail

The King Jarrah Heritage Trail, four kilometres east of Manjimup, explores some of the tactics that polants of the Jarrah Forest use to survive and reproduce. Suitable for wheelchairs and pushers, the sealed trail leaves a barbecues area and meanders for six hundred and fifty metres through the understorey of the Jarrah Forest.

A covered rest area is provided half-way along the trail. Dominated by the enormous and ancient king jarrah, the nearby forest supports a vast array of plant species, from delicate Orchids to brilliant Coral Peas and honey-scented White Clematis.

Something is always in flower in the Jarrah Forest, but the best wildflowers occur between October and December. In the quieter seasons take a close look at the fruits of the forest. Illustrated signs along the trail provide some intriguing insights into the reproductive mechanisms of many of the common forest plants, from the fluffy-headed Clematis to the primaeval cones of the Zamia Palms.
