I found my new running trail.
15 kilometers of pure bush in John Forrest Nation Park. Which also happens to have a pub. And lots of kangaroos.
Only two minor problems to overcome: 1) running again (to be solved shortly) 2) getting up to the hill without a car. But they are worth overcoming to go back to the Saturday mornings at Harbison or Sesquicentennial or an early morning or sunset jog at Bluff Point, although I doubt I would encounter many freezing, rainy, miserable trails (like so many racers did this past weekend).
But even under Australia's searing summer sun the red gums and jarrah trees created a sandy path dappled with shade.
And as opposed to the majority of Australia, there are lots of trees to look at.
Even trees and grass tree stalks with kinks in them.
Plus there's less rocks and roots than the trip hazard of the single track out at Harbison.
Just watch out for the gum nuts (honky nuts) on the trail.
