Head down to Balingup for a two-day guided walking break.
Carrying only your day pack, we walk 40km over the two days.

At the end of the first day you are transported back to Balingup to make your way to your accommodation.
On Sunday we meet in Balingup and then transferred back to where you left off, tackling the ascent to Blackwood campsite, walking back with the guides into Balingup.
You can choose and book your own accommodation in town and we recommend that you arrive on Friday night so you can be ready for the early departure on Saturday morning.

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!
