RV TRAVEL
HEARTBREAK TRAIL
Continue south on unsealed Vasse Road for 4km to the Heartbreak Trail junction . Here , you can continue straight on Olde Vasse Road , stopping along the way to see Marianne Tree and then Dave Evens Bicentennial Tree . Or you can choose Heartbreak Trail , noting that the trail is a one-way , unsealed , steep , winding rough road unsuitable for towing .
If the track is wet , think twice about taking it . If you do choose this way , spare a thought for the men who carved out the track by hand to access the Warren River for fighting fires . It plunges through Warren National Park ; at 5km is Maiden Bush offering a swimming hole and a picnic table , and a bit further along is Heartbreak Crossing over the river .
The nice part about the rough access is that Draftys Camp and then Warren Camp are isolated campgrounds with ( hopefully ) few people tenting it there . Both are by the river and offer picnic tables and toilets .
Two kilometres past Warren Camp is Warren Lookout with views back over Warren Valley with its forest and river ; 1km on is Blackbutt with a grove of blackbutt trees . Shortly , you are back on Old Vasse Road . It is worth driving west on Old Vasse to see the Dave Evens Bicentennial Tree , a 65m-high karri that is still used as a fire lookout when fire-spotting planes are unable to fly .
Last but not least on the forest drive is access to The Cascades back in Gloucester National Park . Watch for Glauder Road on the right and take the 2km unsealed road to Lefroy Brook where large boulders break up the water ’ s journey .
This couldn ’ t be a prettier way to end the Karri Forest Explorer Drive before returning to Pemberton .
