DRV to Pemberton - 25th Anniversary Celebrations

Get involved in the 25th Anniversary and join the end-to-end walkers on this 5-day section south of Donnelly River Village (DRV)

This is the seventh section of the 25th Anniversary end-to-end walk.

Your guides will lead you on this town-to-town section of the Bibbulmun Track which is deep in the karri forest. You will walk through the picturesque but challenging and somewhat remote Donnelly River Valley.

Great for sectional end-to-enders or those yet to explore the Track south of DRV. Read more about this section.

DRV is also the location of the big half-way party of the 25th Anniversary walk. Get your family and friends together to celebrate with you in DRV and book a cottage for the whole weekend. While the party is on the evening of the 12th, you can book a cottage from the 11th to 13th August. 

Includes remote food drop, comprehensive briefing night, hire gear (conditions apply), trip preparation manual and map. BYO food. 

Walkers will need to arrange their own accommodation as well as transport to the start (DRV) and from the end of the walk (Pemberton).

**There is no TRANSWA service at DRV. A one-way shuttle can be booked here for Saturday 12th August to connect walkers to DRV from Bridgetown on the 1.17pm TRANSWA service from Perth/Bunbury (leaving Perth at 9.30am). 

TRANSWA provide a service from Pemberton to Perth on 18th August. You will therefore need accommodation in Pemberton on the 17th.

You can book a bed in shared dormitory style accommodation for one night on the 12th (in a cottage at DRV) when you book this walk. You will be allocated a bed with others of the same gender. Otherwise you can book a whole cottage (see the 25th Anniversary webpage).

You can book a bed in shared dormitory style accommodation for one night on the 17th (at Pemberton Camp School) when you book this walk. You will be allocated a bed with others of the same gender. Otherwise you can book accommodation elsewhere.
