A 15km walk from Mt Cooke pine plantation to Nerang campsite led by a Foundation volunteer guide.
We begin at location within the pine plantation at the base of Mt Cooke. From there, we pick up the Bibbulmun Track and head to Nerang Campsite. This section of the Track and the campsite were destroyed by fire in 2003. The campsite was relocated to its current location and built by DEC and Bibbulmun Track Foundation volunteers in 2004.
Though a very flat section of the Track, it offers pleasant walking through mixed jarrah forest and some wandoo. The campsite overlooks a very pretty creek lined with boulders which is in fact part of the headwaters of the Canning River.
Lunch will be had at the campsite. The campsite has water and a toilet (byo toilet paper!).

Hi! I have been interested in the bush since an early age and have walked small sections of the Track since its inception. Early years were spent taking family and Scout Groups on weekends camping and bush walking. I maintain a section south of Collie and walking the Track has given me a great deal of enjoyment. I was part of the 10th Anniversary Walk when I completed my first end-to-end. Since this time I have spent many hours, volunteering in the office and leading walks to ensure others know and enjoy the Bibbulmun Track as I do. My favourite is to catch a bus and spend my friendship with the bush for some days and slowly come back, to where it may take me!

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!
