We’ve teamed up with Outdoors October for this year’s Bibbulmun Track Virtual Hike Challenge…  so you can walk, run, ride, swim or even paddle your way “virtually” down the Track.

Our latest 8-day Highlights of the Bibbulmun Track tour was absolutely fantastic!

The Murray River realignment finally opened last week! On Wednesday morning the Support Volunteer team was thrilled to welcome the first walker, southbound from Dookanelly Campsite, onto the realignment which was the culmination of route finding from 2019, extensive planning, approvals and construction over two winters.

Last week, our members enjoyed an unforgettable night of storytelling and adventure at Inglewood Bowling and Sports Club. We were captivated by tales from Mary Boyce’s multi-day and day hikes in Scandinavia and Geoff Bell’s solo walk along the South Coast Track in Tasmania. 

The Anglican Church in Kalamunda and Albany are now offering hospitality to those who walk the Bibbulmun Track.  
It doesn’t matter if you are religious or not, or if you have some other faith – the offer to meet with a volunteer at the start or finish of your journey is open to all… along with the chance to ring the church bells!

Hiking is something we do, and for many of us, we’ve been doing it a long time. We know how to pack food and eat on the trail… right? But having your systems dialed in isn’t always the same thing as maintaining your nutrition.

A very big THANK YOU to all the members who bought tickets in our Adventure Raffle. 

Your support was fabulous and we raised just over $13,000.

These funds will contribute to the ongoing maintenance of the Bibbulmun Track including upcoming realignments and the upgrade of Harris Dam Campsite.

2024 is the centenary of the founding of Northcliffe for group settlers. The area (others included Manjimup, Pemberton, Busselton to Augusta, Denmark to Walpole, Bridgetown and the Peel region) was chosen as one to which settlers would be sent to start their new lives and fulfil their dreams of owning some land; something that for most would have been a pipedream in the UK. There were about 30 groups in the Northcliffe area and the conditions were tough. The town’s museum is well worth a visit and has a lot in it about the area’s group settlers, including a house of a groupie family.

The proof is in the pudding as the adage goes and the early Perth Hills realignments are just that
