The Great Forest Trees Drive was established in 1996. This 48 kilometre drive takes in spectacular old growth karri forest, and is punctuated with six picnic and information stops, and two walks. It has its own radio broadcasts and takes in stunning examples of marri and jarrah forest, sedgeland, heath and granite outcrops.
The drive starts north of the South Western Highway, just beyond the shingled roof information shelter and the turn off to the covered barbecues and walk trails. Visitors often stop to read the information and have a barbecue before proceeding.
The roads are not sealed but are suitable for conventional two wheel drive vehicles and small coaches. The drive is well sign posted and visitors are indicated where to listen to the radio broadcasts.
After following the one way northern loop for 23 kilometres, the drive crosses the highway into the lower Shannon area, where the roads are once again two way. After visiting Snake Gully lookout and Big Tree Grove, where you can see giant karri trees, the drive continues along the river to the old Shannon townsite. The loop ends where it begins on the South Western Highway.
