The Old Sound Road was the first overland link between the two settlements of the Swan River Colony - Perth and Albany. This site is one of two that remain to give visible evidence of that route.
Located on Jennamartin Creek just below (5 metres) the Jenhamartin Rock. Rocks that have been placed on the edge of the gully to prevent bogging of horse and wagons are clearly visible. In the adjacent cleared paddock the indentation of the old track is still apparent.
