This is one of Australia's greatest walks. Bibbulmun track have introduced a new way of seeing spectacular landscape with 'Bibbulmun walking breaks'.

Opened on September 13, 1998, the award-winning Bibbulmun Track is one of the world's great long distance walk trails, stretching nearly 1000kms from Kalamunda (Perth Hills) to Albany (South Coast) through the heart of the scenic South West of Western Australia. The Track meanders through a wide variety of jarrah, marri, wandoo, karri and tingle forests, interspersed with sections of coastal peppermint and heathlands. It traverses some of the most beautiful and wild areas of the South West, and offers great facilities.

The Bibbulmun Track caters for everyone and every experience - from a gentle stroll to an eight-week adventure. You can make it more of a wilderness experience by camping out in the three-sided timber shelters, you can join a guided group, or you can do it in comfort using the varied accommodation in the towns along the Track.

If you like everything laid out for you - from accommodation to transport, food to maps - you can book a packaged Bibbulmun Walking Break. There are 6 packaged Bibbulmun Walking Break locations to choose from and you basically don't have to think about anything - it's all done for you! All packages are for two days and two nights, with an optional third night and day for sightseeing. They can also be combined for longer trips of up to three weeks.

Everything can be included: accommodation, all food, transfers to the start of each walk, daypack with water-bottle, Bibbulmun hat, maps, walk notes and more; all you need is a comfortable pair of shoes (boots are preferable).

You can choose an 'easy' or 'intermediate' section and walk independently at your own pace.

If you want to walk the whole 1000km from Kalamunda to Albany, expect to take six to eight weeks. But many more people choose to walk on the Track for shorter walks. New Day Walk packs are now available for walks in the Darling Range, Dwellingup, Balingup, Pemberton, Walpole and Denmark area.
