GOO-LORTO BUSH TRAIL ‘GOO-LOORTO’
means “a species of Eucalypt” in the local Aboriginal language. This probably refers to the Flooded Gum, Eucalyptus rudis, and many large and splendid examples of this tree can be seen beside the trail.
The trail takes you along the western side of the Bennett Brook which is the outflow of Mussel Pool and Horse Swamp.
The northern section of the brook dries up to isolated pools by early December, then starts to flow again with the onset of rain in May or June. The southern portion near Marshall Road usually flows all year as it is fed by seepage from the water table (Gnangara Mound).
LENGTH: 3 kilometres return
GRADE: 2 – Fairly Easy (suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels) WALKING TIME: 1 hour 15 minutes at a leisurely pace
TRAIL MARKERS: Red-topped pine poles; lettered poles mark points of interest
