Diversions & Other Impacts

• Campfire bans in place

  Location: Balingup to Donnelly River Village

  Campfire bans are now in place at all campsites between Balingup and Donnelly River Village.

  Walkers are not permitted to light any campfires or wood operated stoves. Please carry and use a liquid fuel stove.

  Campfire bans will continue to April 2020 depending on weather conditions. 

  On certain days, a total fire ban will be in force where walkers are not permitted to light a fuel stove either. For information about locations of current total fire bans call 1800 709 355 or visit the www.emergency.wa.gov.au/.

  We strongly encourage walkers to always use fuel stoves to cook on whenever they are walking the Bibbulmun Track. Campfires are great to sit around, but they can have an adverse effect on the environment.

  Please note that campifres are never permitted at Blackwood Campsite. It is a no fire site.
