King Jarrah Heritage Trail

Manjimup WA 6258
The King Jarrah tree is an awesome 600 year old tree and is the centrepiece for a number of forest walks. It is set in jarrah forest three kilometres from Manjimup.
The King Jarrah Heritage Trail explores some of the tactics that plants of the Jarrah Forest use to survive and reproduce.
Suitable for wheelchairs and pushers, the sealed trail leaves a barbecue area and meanders for 650 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.
The King Jarrah Heritage Trail was planned and constructed by alternative
upper school students from Manjimup Senior High School, with help from the
Department of Conservation and Land Management.
