Dwellingup

Breathe in the fresh smell of fresh pine and jarrah trees as you swing, leap and wobble high above Nanga Mill Campground at Treetops Adventure Dwellingup. Located only 45 minutes from Mandurah and inside Lane Poole Reserve, you’ll experience soaring aerial obstacles reaching up to 25 metres high that’ll have you flying and laughing with the kookaburras as you push yourself to greater heights! Jump, swing, fly and balance up in the treetop canopy in this fun for all the family ziplining adventure located in Dwellingup, in the Margaret River region just south of Perth. In this 2.5 hour canopy experience, you’ll zip through the trees and face challenges up high to test your skills on. Conquer your fears in the trees where all the safety equipment you need is provided, and expert guides are on hand at all times.

This overnight self-guided tour is popular for those who love to get immersed in nature! Spend Day 1 hiking 13km from Dwellingup to Swamp Oak Hut, breathing in the fresh forest air. Spend the evening toasting marshmallows over a campfire (season dependent), snuggled up in a sleeping bag under the incredible stars of the dark sky. A short walk on Day 2 takes you to the Murray River, where Dwellingup Adventures meet you to swap over your hiking gear with the supplied paddling equipment. Spend the next few hours meandering downstream through long pools, fast-moving channels, and a couple of small rapids along the forest-lined riverbanks. Dwellingup Adventures meet you at the finish point and transfer you back to your vehicle in Dwellingup.

Enjoy a day riding part of the world-renowned Munda Biddi Trail, translating to ‘path through the forest’ in the Indigenous Noongar language. After getting fitted out with a mountain bike and helmet, Dwellingup Adventures transport your group and bikes to the beginning of the journey. Spend the rest of the day riding through the majestic Jarrah forest along single track and fire trails, with a bridge leading you across the mighty Murray River, giving you impressive views of Baden Powell Water Spout. Journey finishes at Dwellingup townsite, where there is plenty more to explore on foot! Choose from 17km (Nanga Mill to Town) or 35km (Dawn Creek rd to Town via Bidjar Ngoulin Hut).
