- Former Railway

- follows a former tramway from Jarrahdale to the site of the Balmoral POW Camp
- traverses bushland and some farmland, passing a log loading ramp and several shield trees each carved with a number used by foresters in the 1920s as a grid reference system
- provides a link with the Mundlimup Timber Trail, POW Camp Trail and Bibbulmun Track, plus the Munda Biddi Cycle Trail
Nearby Attractions
- finishes at the POW Camp. Signage describes its operation and explains the ruins that remain. A walk option is from the POW Camp to Sullivan Rock carpark, linking up with the Bibbulmum Track, an extension of 9km
- from the POW Camp, the trail passes through stands of Kingia australis grass trees before rejoining the timber tramway to Millar’s Log Road. Note the sleepers on the old tramway
- the adjacent area was the site of Jarrahdale’s number 3 timber mill, called the ‘39 Mill’ because it was on the banks of 39 Mile Brook
Last updated: 9 December 2022
- at one point the rail formation crosses a private farm. Stiles have been provided to allow access across the farm but cyclists are advised to follow the Munda Biddi Trail, which takes a slightly steeper route to avoid the private property
- signage is lacking in a couple of places so a copy of the Munda Biddi Trail Map (Map 1) is recommended

Approximately half way along the trail

A shield tree

This cutting was once used for loading logs onto the railway. Railway sleepers still remain in the ground here.
