About the Walking Trail
The Pink Gum Loop is a challenging circuit hike along wide fire trails climbing a large hill. The trail is good for walking dogs and trail running, although the fire track can be dusty and loose gravel on the descent.
Start the hike from Gate 3 on Perserverance Road. From the gate follow the Yellowtail Loop south (right) for 200 metres to reach the start of the Pink Gum Loop, then choose which direction to take the circuit.
The hike can also be started from Gate 7 on Perserverance Road. From the gate follow the Yellowtail Loop north (left) for 750 metres to reach the start of the Pink Gum Loop, then choose which direction to take the circuit.
