History
editThe trail was completed in early 2017 from Pick Avenue to Whites Avenue. It was extended to west from White Avenue to Jubilee Highway West in late 2017. It was extended further to Pick Avenue to link up with the existing Jubilee Highway path leading to Umpherston Sinkhole and Blue Lake Sports Park. It was also extended north from Jubilee Hwy West to Wandilo RD. An additional 3 km was built west from White Ave to Cafpirco Rd along the disused railway line to Millicent.[2]
