The perfect opportunity to develop your compass and map reading skills.
On this fun but more intensive weekend we go through some more theory but this time the practical aspect is out on a Rogaine.
You will learn to navigate longer distances and will also learn to do it at night, finding your way through the bush – there are no trails!
Camp out (vehicle based camping) on both Friday and Saturday night and be prepared to walk around 20km over the entire weekend. Best of all we make camp and the base camp. This means you don't have to carry your overnight gear!
I was very nervous before attending this event, but I was always made to feel at ease especially with walking through scrub at night. Such a great way to get my confidence through the roof, not to mention how much fun we had. Do this event! - event participant
You don’t need to Get Lost with Steve (the one-day course) as a prerequisite, but it would be helpful as that course covers much more of the basic theory needed.
Includes entry fee to Rogaine, theory (on Friday evening) and plenty of practical tuition, dinner Saturday night, breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Own navigation compass required.
Exact location unknown until the week prior but usually held in bushland no more than 3hrs drive from Perth (but usually around a 1.5hr drive).

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! I’ve been walking the Track since the late 90’s, and like many, started slowly along the big hill curve of learning. A warning: the Bib is addictive. To me, being in the bush is a form of meditation. The whole Track is my favourite section but I must admit to being very fond of sitting on top of Mount Cooke, watching the eagles circle the skinks, and just soaking it all in. I enjoy sharing my love of the Track with novice walkers so hope to see you out there soon.

Hi guys, I have been a member since 2009 when I started my sectional end-to-end. Since then, I’ve enjoyed many hikes on the Bibbulmun Track as well as tracks in Tasmania, NZ and Europe. I love the diverse experiences hiking can give you and I am looking forward to sharing my passion for it with you.

During the week a mild mannered public servant who will take any opportunity to get out on the Track, it’s a far better existence than my previous life sent deep under the Worlds Oceans - the scenery not great!! I have been walking the Track now for 15 years and have completed a sectional end to end a few years ago I also am a maintenance volunteer for the Mt Cuthbert and Mt Vincent sections.
