South West Life

No-one knows the Bibbulmun Track like the Bibbulmun Track Foundation and after celebrating their win at the 2010 WA Tourism Awards they are keen to share their intimate knowledge of the Track.  Their 8-day 'Bibbulmun & Beyond' tour departs Perth on 9th May 2011 and showcases the very best parts of the Track.

The Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia is one of the world's great long-distance walk trails, stretching almost 1000kms from Kalamunda in the Perth Hills to Albany on the south coast.  From giant boulders, to magnificent ancient forests, coastal heathlands and spectacular views, the Track passes through some of the most diverse and unique areas of Australia's south west.  The Foundation's Lead Guide Steve Sertis said "We have walked every step of the Track many times and are best placed to share its secrets and highlights with our participants".

The itinerary combines full and half-day walks with off-track accommodation and extends beyond the Bibbulmun Track into the Stirling Range National Park near Albany where participants climb to the summit of Bluff Knoll (1073 metres) and are rewarded with the breathtaking 360o views.    

A private air conditioned bus provides transport to and from the Track each day and participants will experience a number of unique eco-tourism attractions in the region.  Each evening the group returns to comfortable accommodation in the rural towns and villages along the Track to relax and enjoy the local fare.

Participants need carry only a small daypack, and the flexible itinerary caters for all levels of experience.

The Bibbulmun Track Foundation is a not-for-profit, community organisation dedicated to provide support for the management, maintenance and marketing of the Bibbulmun Track to ensure its long-term sustainability. They have been providing free information and conducting guided walks on the Bibbulmun Track for over a decade.   All proceeds from this trip support the ongoing sustainability of the Bibbulmun Track.
