One of our most popular events – this is the next level up from our Bibbulmun Trek for Beginners.

It is set in the beautiful yet challenging Blackwood district.

Experienced guides will instruct and support you in overnight trekking based on a typical distance walked during a day on the Bibbulmun Track.

Spend Friday night in Balingup before being transported north of town for two full days of walking with packs back to town, camping out on Saturday night.

Freshen up on Sunday afternoon with a hot shower in Balingup before being transported to Perth.

So much fun, really well organised and just a very enjoyable weekend all round.

Includes comprehensive planning night, trip preparation manual, map, return transport from Murdoch Park'n'Ride rail terminal and bus transfer to start of walk, plus accommodation on Friday night, showers on Sunday and equipment hire. Food not included.

    Hi folks. I have been with the Foundation since 1997, when I first joined as a member and maintenance volunteer. I wanted to get involved in the 'new' Track after getting terribly lost on the 'old' Bibbulmun Track. From there I began leading walks and then came on staff in the office in 1999 as Events Manager and Lead Guide. I love walking and have done a few end-to-ends. I really get a kick out of sharing this passion with everyone. I am still a volunteer and look after Nerang Campsite. Come and join me on this event!

    Hi folks! Ian here. I have been a member since 2007 and I participated in part of the 10th Anniversary Walk in 2008. I had so much fun that I decided I wanted to be a volunteer guide. I am also a maintenance volunteer and just love it!
