Dwellingup to Quindanning - ~121km. About 3-4 hours leisurely drive
Alternatively turn left when you hit the Pinjarrah Williams road off the Lower Hotham road and head back to Dwellingup. This misses out the 60km round trip to the Quindanning Inn. ~132km
Or, keep straight on the Harvey Quindanning road PAST the Lower Hotham road for another 16km until hitting the Pinjarrah williams road, turn left, over the bridge and the Quindanning Inn is on the right.

Grade1 with 4WD not really necesssary, although advisable in High range on the gravelly tracks. Very minor scratchies in limited spots but of no real concern
4WD may be needed to access some of the short tracks off the main track down to the river for picnics or camping

The trail was pioneered by Captian Fawcett who had a 10,000acre holding at Pinjarra. His aboriginal workers mentioned a source of good water over the Darling Ranges they called Mokine. Fawcett and William Pollard set off in 1860 up the Murray and Hotham rivers then up the Marradong creek where they believe they arrived at Mokine. Fawcett set up a homestead, took 5,000 acres and leased another 6,000 acres. He blaized a direct trail back, marking trees for his workers and shepherds to follow. This just about follows the existing Dwellingup/Marradong road perfectly and was once know as Fawcett road on early maps
