Get involved in the 25th Anniversary and join the end-to-end walkers on this 4-day section with the official send-off in Kalamunda.

This is the first section of the 25th Anniversary end-to-end walk and the Kalmunda send-off for all walkers will be an event to remember!

Your guides will lead you through one of the most scenic sections of the northern Bibbulmun Track. Each day offers fascinating scenery – the mysterious boulders, the expansive views and the misty mornings.

Great for sectional end-to-enders or those yet to explore the Track in the Perth Hills. Read more about this section.

Bus transport is available at the end of the walk from Brookton Hwy to Murdoch park’n’ride on the late afternoon of 17th July.

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!

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!
