Have you seen the new trail markers? Tell us what you think!
If you were out on the Track during spring, you may have come across some new marker posts – did you notice them? What did you think?
If you haven't seen them have a look at the photos below. Then click on the link at the bottom of the page to do the survey.
DEC wishes to standardise its trail signage across the State and is seeking your feedback.
Two adjacent sections in the Perth Hills have been marked to enable a comparison:
• Piesse Brook to Fern Rd (2.9km) in red metal ezi-drive posts
• Fern Rd to Asher Rd (2.5km) in grey metal ezi-drive posts
Other sections include:
• The new Mumballup realignment with red posts (and some wooden posts, as the new metal posts arrived late).
• Walpole District is trialing the red and grey posts in a coastal section near the Mandalay lookout.
The standard markers on these posts are square, so the Waugal Trail Marker is now a yellow triangle on a square metal reflective background. All the triangular Waugal markers in these sections have been removed and it is intended that they be phased out.
These photos were taken in the trial area between Fern Rd and Asher Rd in Kalamunda on November 14 2009.
