Completed Trail!

11 December 2022

The realignment around Mount Gungin summit has been completed! The trail is now officially 31km long and is marked in its entirety. Trailhead signage at both ends is a 2023 project and maintenance is, of course, ongoing. Upgrades to some areas will also be considered into the future.

2km to be Rerouted

31 December 2021

2km of trail between Gungin and The Dell remains only roughly marked, as realignments were being considered in the area, given heavy MTB traffic. These realignments have been confirmed and trail work will take place in 2022 to have the Kattamorda HT rerouted to the west of Mount Gungin before it will reconnect ultimately to the original trail at The Dell. When this work is done, the Kattamorda will no longer go to Mount Gungin summit.

Markers - Half Done

21 December 2020

Markers have been attached to the posts from Hardinge Park to Mt Gungin (15km). Work continues northbound, but the 2.2km between Mt Gungin and Mundaring Weir Rd remains unposted. Realignments are being considered in the area, given heavy MTB traffic.

Posts - 28km Installed

02 August 2020

One short section of trail remains to have posts installed. That comprises 2.2km between Mt Gungin and Mundaring Weir Rd. Markers for the posts will likely not be ready until at least September.

Friends of KattaMorda Heritage Trail

The Friends of KattaMorda Heritage Trail (Friends of KMHT) was formed in May 2018. It is a volunteer group registered with the Parks and Wildlife Service of the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA). The group's primary aims are to maintain the trail and remove rubbish.

When it came time to revive and re-mark the trail, the potoroo paw print was chosen as our emblem. The relationship between the potoroo, a small marsupial, and the KattaMorda Heritage Trail, is explained further on our History of the Trail page.
