This drive is about a 180km round trip from the Neaves/Pinjar Rd intersection. Taking it easy without stops, you can expect it to take approximately four hours. Stopping for lunch and wineries will obviously add to this time.
This is not a difficult trip. While there is plenty of mud in the forest, this route avoids all of it but does allow drivers to play if they feel the needed. There are a few simple hill climbs and descents and some small creek crossings. In summer, the creeks will have have little or no water in them.
