Leave your worries behind as we transport you to the picturesque Blackwood area.

On Friday night we stay in Donnelly River Village before starting our two-day walk north.

Spend two glorious days walking through karri/jarrah/marri forest finishing with views across the Blackwood valley. Stay at a typical campsite and enjoy the serenity of the forest.

Experienced guides are on hand to offer guidance and support. Freshen up on Sunday afternoon with a hot shower before boarding the bus back to Perth.

Steve's welcoming and friendly, disposition, his willingness to share his bush knowledge with the group contributed greatly to the overall satisfying experience the weekend was. These events are a must for my future annual program of things to do. Jennifer – event participant

Steve Sertis

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!
Isabel Busch

Hi there, Isabel here. I've been a member since 2004 when I walked the Track end-to-end in the wettest August ever! I am also a maintenance volunteer looking after Frankland River Campsite near Walpole. I love being a volunteer guide and being able to share my passion with others.
Karen Boyce

Hi, Karen here. I have always had a love of walking in the bush, particularly looking at wildflowers, but have only in recent years discovered the Bibbulmun Track. As many have told me, it is addictive and I am now passing on my new found passion by volunteering as a guide. I haven’t walked the entire track yet but my favourite so far is around the Canning River where it amazes me how much the vegetation and soil can change in so short a time. Hope to see you out there soon!
