FR Berry Reserve

Directions - Located in Gidgegannup, from Roe Hwy, take the Toodyay Rd exit heading east. Follow this up the hill and turn left at Reen Rd. Follow this for 8.5km until you reach the entry for the reserve on the left (it's signed).

The Hike - With 2020 just getting weirder and weirder as each month came along, it was nice to see Western Australia getting away relatively unscathed from the COVID-19 pandemic. With regional borders opened it meant access to some areas close to Perth that were previously out of bounds were now in play. One area was Gidgegannup and although the main attractions here are Paruna and Noble Falls, I had a couple of smaller walks on my radar that I wanted to visit. With that in mind I donned my red leader shirt and assembled Grey Squadron for our first hike of the season. Over the lockdown we had caught up by playing online games and organised Zoom dinner parties but it doesn't beat hanging out in person so a half day of hiking was arranged. After a lovely toasted sammich breakfast provided by Jen and Aron we headed out to the first walk that due to a couple of reasons I won't be posting on the website.
