Peter Brock memorial
I arrived a little early and decided to drive on down picturesque Clenton Road for a few minutes. Much to my surprise a came across a memorial to the late Peter Brock, who died in 2006 while rally driving the road.

Numbat Trail
The day was dry, cool and cloudy, perfect for walking.

Briefing from Simon among Powderbark and Wandoo trees
There are three trails at Paruna - Quenda, Numbat and Possum.
Trail markers
The entire 12km Numbat Trail walk is up or down and reasonably taxing.
Steep terrain
Lunch at a lookout
The Paruna Wildlife corridor was opened in 1998 linking Walyunga and Avon Valley National Parks.
