Safety and Equipment

Mobile reception is unreliable although you may get pockets of reception depending on your phone and provider. If you require an emergency phone, there are two land lines in the park. Park road Entry Ranger Station and Nanga Bush Camp: a phone box close to the manager’s residence is available for emergency and local calls only at no cost. Both locations are on your map. Dwellingup Adventures is not a medical emergency response agency, and all emergency calls should be made to 000 or 112 if no mobile reception. At best note or describe your location. Emergency services will typically try to get to you. Dwellingup Adventures may be able to assist emergency staff so call 95381127 as well. For a non-medical emergency call Dwellingup Adventures for assistance.

The mountain bikes are serviced and supplied in good order. Ride carefully for your own safety and be conscious that it is different to riding on a footpath. Ride slowly downhill always under control. If in doubt walk the bike. Change gears gently and ‘feel’ the mechanics of the bike change. Do not force anything or you may break a chain or do damage. You will be some distance from assistance. We supply a repair kit that includes a spanner, multi-tool, spare tube and pump. Most people do not experience mechanicals but it can happen.

What should I wear for the ride?

We recommend comfortable bike riding wear or general sports/active wear. Avoid non-stretchy fabrics like denim or anything too heavy. Light layers are a great option, as you can easily take them off as you warm up during the ride. Closed-in footwear is essential for your safety and comfort. If you have riding gloves, they can be handy too!

What should I bring for the tour?

You should carry a small day pack with some rainwear (if the season suggests it), a water bottle, and any personal items you might need. It’s essential to bring plenty of water – at least 2 litres per person, as there’s no access to drinking water on the trail itself. You’ll need to pack plenty of snacks and your lunch, or make it super easy and order a Picnic Package from us! Sunscreen and insect repellent are a good idea. If the weather is warm you may decide to swim, so bring bathers and a small towel. There is a toilet located at Dwaarlindjirraap where you can change.

Do I need prior mountain biking experience?

Yes. Whilst you don’t need to be an expert, we do suggest that you have some experience riding on gravel or forest tracks. It can be quite different to a foot path. A little fitness will also make for a more enjoyable day, or upgrade to an electric-assist mountain bike to give you a little boost!

What about mobile reception and emergencies?

Mobile reception can be unreliable out on the trail, though you might find pockets depending on your phone and provider. For emergencies, there are two landlines in the park: one at the Entry Ranger Station (if occupied by rangers) and a phone box near the manager’s residence at Nanga Bush Camp. Both locations are marked on your map.

Dwellingup Adventures is not a medical emergency response agency. For any medical emergency, always call 000 if you have mobile reception. Try your best to note or describe your exact location. Emergency services will work to reach you. You can also call Dwellingup Adventures on 9538 1127 to help us assist emergency staff. For non-medical emergencies, simply call Dwellingup Adventures for assistance.
