An easy, scenic trail which is walking distance from the Wongan Hills Caravan Park to the rock wall which is used to divert rainwater down to the town dam. The path through bushland and wildflowers is relatively flat and, apart from a short section on the rock itself, has wide smooth gravel surfaces. Interpretive panels provide interesting snippets of information about the natural and cultural history of the area. Walking anti-clockwise from Apex Park is recommended.

This large granite outcrop is a location of historical significance – adding to its attraction as a popular bush walk and picnic spot.

Ten minutes drive east of town, this moderately easy 3.1km trail has a variety of different surfaces but no steep sections; and there’s a short five minute scenic walk option to view some fascinating sculptured rocks.

Walk by huge granite boulders sculpted by wind and water, along narrow paths, and over the top of the rock with sweeping views of the farmland below.

Listed as one of Trails WA’s “Top Trails” it starts with a steep climb, including some big rocky steps, before levelling out and winding its way around the top of the hill.

Highlights include the views at Speaker’s Chair (a natural rock formation in the highest ridge of the Wongan Hills range), Gimlet Gully and red barked gimlets growing in profusion below. There are 9 lookouts and numerous interpretive panels.

Mount O’Brien is the second highest peak in the Wongan hills, standing at 424 metres high, and offers spectacular, panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and lakes from the Centenary of Federation Wheatbelt Lookout at its peak.

The track to the summit is not suitable for caravans, but is fine for most small to medium sized vehicles.
