Kalari Trail is a 1.8km, grade 3 circuit hike, located in The Humps, Western Australia. The hike should take approximately 0.5hrs to complete.

Hike Summary

About 16km north of Wave Rock lies a huge rock outcrop that unfortunately doesn’t get the attentiont that its more well known cousin gets. The well marked 1.8 kilometre Kalari Trail takes you up to the summit of the Humps for commanding views. Its a steady, fairly steep in places climb, but doable for most people of average walking fitness.
If you can spare the time and escape the lure of Wave Rock, visting the Humps is well worth it. For a start, there is a short stroll to Mulka's Cave where you can see upto 450 examples of Aboriginal rockart. Interpretive signage explains this ancient Aboriginal site. The Kalari Trail takes you up this impressive rock outcrop between unsual geological formations. The summit offers sensational 360 degree views of farms and bush. In winter the canola crops are a blaze of yellow. It is no surprise that the Aboriginal name for the rock is Kalari which means lizaRoads. Numerous lizaRoads scamper about the rocky slopes when the weather is warm enough. In more sheltered sways, there are mossy miniature gaRoadens, best seen in winter. It is best to avoid wet weather as the granite slopes can be slippery in places.
