Escape the stresses of daily life as we take you to the enchanting Blackwood region.

Friday night we stay deep in the karri forest at Donnelly River Village, before starting our two-day walk north.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of karri/jarrah/marri forests during two glorious days of walking, concluding with breathtaking views of the Blackwood Valley. Experience the tranquility of the forest as you stay at a typical campsite.

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, I have been a member with the Foundation since 1999 and became a volunteer guide after participating in the Walk with Dad event many years ago. See you out there!

Hi everyone…I have a deep love and respect for nature and all places wild and a keen interest in our native plants. I’m currently hiking my way toward completing my sectional E2E…savouring every moment of this amazing track and the wonderful community of people it brings together. Some of my other hiking journeys have included our South West, the Annapurna and Everest Regions of Nepal, the Carr Boyd Ranges in the Kimberley (this was many moons ago!)…and soon the Overland Track in Tasmania. Other adventures have included a ‘once in a lifetime’ sail to Antarctica on a 100 year old Dutch Tall ship.
I’m excited about being a Guide with the Foundation and being able to share my enthusiasm with you all. Looking forward to seeing you out there! 😊
