Proceeding clockwise, this easy to follow loop trail starts at the old Marrinup townsite which was destroyed by bush fire in 1961. It is an eight kilometre single track suitable for both the novice and experienced rider. The trail can be shortened to about four kilometres by using the short course return route - an excellent introduction to mountain biking for children. It varies from narrow, challenging tracks with flat sections and hill climbs to true gravel roads, with the ball bearing like bauxite gravel making things pretty interesting for mountain biking.
The “Cage in the Bush” is a little known part of Western Australia’s wartime history. During World War II thousands of Italian and German POW’s spent time here cutting wood for Perth before being billeted out to WA farms. Buildings no longer exist, but there are foundations, gardens and some fencing and it’s fascinating to stroll around the camp trying to imagine what life would’ve been like for the POW’s.
Nearby Dwellingup and Lane Poole Reserve offer a variety of walking, biking and canoeing experiences including access points to the Bibbulmun and Munda Biddi Trails.

Awesome good fun for a casual ride. Loved the ride logs and small obstacles all in the forest. Trail has flow and not steep. We took the Munda Biddi from Dwellingup to the trail, returning to town for a coffee afterwards.

Excellent track, took my 11yr old son who started off gingerly and is now nailing the track. Be careful some riders are hitting it anti clockwise, we've nearly come to grief twice.

Few stray sticks on the track due to high winds, other than that track is in great condition and a lot of fun.
