Diversions & Other Impacts
Mutton Bird Campsite
Location: Near Albany
Walkers should be aware the sleeping platforms in the shelter at Muttonbird Campsite will be replaced at a future date, following an inspection of the residue built up on the surface.
Prior to this work, it is suggested walkers use a ground sheet under their mat or camp at a tent site.
This advice will be updated when the date of replacement is known.
Seasonal Diversion
Location: Torbay west of Albany
During times of heavy seas and high winter tides, the Bibbulmun Track is diverted around the Perkins Beach Headland between Cosy corner and Torbay Inlet.
This is due to the rocky headland being difficult to cross making it dangerous for walkers during high tides and heavy seas through winter.
The Track has been diverted higher along a gravel road verge and 4WD track.
Walkers please use caution when walking along the gravel road verge and 4WD track for on coming track. Walkers ahead and reduce speed signage has been put in place.
