| Hills Ride 1: Midland / Mundaring Weir Loop
Section 2 - Kalamunda to Mundaring Weir
Commence your ride at the Kalamunda Hotel. Take the shared path south to the roundabout located next to the Bibbulmun Track northern terminus. This popular walking trail winds itself 963km through some of the State's most picturesque scenery to Albany. Bikes are not permitted on the Track.
The famous Bibbulmun walking track begins in Kalamunda.
It is not open to bikes.
Turn left at the roundabout and head eastwards on Mundaring Weir Road. Traffic on this road can get busy on weekends and public holidays, although it is quiet during the week. Particular care should be taken when approaching sharp bends. Follow the road as it winds through State Forest, past Chalet Rigi and begins a steep descent. Once the road levels out, there are a couple of picnic spots on the northern side of the road called The Dell and Gungin Gully.
A camel farm and tea rooms (open Thursday to Sunday) can be found a little further along by taking a short detour down Paulls Valley Road to the Bibbulmun Track crossing.
Further along Mundaring Weir Road you will see a turn off on the left to South Ledge. This is an excellent picnic site with good views across the valley and toilet facilities. About a kilometre from the turnoff, the road begins a steep and winding descent down Weir Village Road to the weir. Riders need to negotiate this slowly.
Mundaring Weir was formed by the damming of the Helena River in 1903. Originally the brainchild of engineer CY O'Connor, the Weir was built to supply water to a rapidly expanding Goldfields region. |
