This is a lengthy section of 272km from Dwellingup through to the start of the karri forests around Donnelly River Village. The first part of the trail from Dwellingup heads past Swamp Oak campsite and alongside the Murray River to the campsite of the same name. This is a great spot although damaged by fire in recent years.

From Murray, the trail heads further south until it hits the trail town of Collie which is a welcome break and place to rest up. After Collie, the trail has a beautiful little section through to the trail town of Balingup. The walk into Balingup is quite special along a nice little brook through some pine forest.

After Balingup, the trail heads further south through farmland in parts and through the arboretum to Blackwood Campsite, which has a nice view but has also been hit by fires in recent years. After this, it is into one of the worst campsites on the track in my view at Gregory Brook before finally reaching the old timber town of Gregory Brook.
