Solo hiking the Hakea Trail is something that I’d be eyeing off for several months and I decided to finally take the plunge. It is located in Fitzgerald River National Park, approximately 6 hours drive South East of Perth in Western Australia.
Officially the trail is a 23.5 kilometre point to point hike, however you will need to have organised someone to pick you up at the end - Something that may be difficult as it is 4wd access only. The minimum distance for solo hiking the trail is ~48km (return), with an additional ~8km if you follow the same route I did and camp at Hammersley Inlet for one of the nights.
For the most part, the trail is relatively easy going with a few undulating hills and is complimented by world class facilities. You’ll walk along snow white beaches with no one else other than yourself. You’ll marvel at the sheer scale of the ragged cliffs cascading into the deep blue ocean below. You’ll discover fauna and flora that you likely never knew existed.
This is a hike that I cannot recommend enough and one I think should be on everyone’s bucket list. Even if you can’t find the time to do the trail itself, I can tell you now that just venturing down to Fitzgerald River National Park will be well worth the visit. I couldn’t imagine how stunning the entire region would be when wildflower season hits.
