A 20km return walk from Dale Road Crossing to the Brookton Campsite via Mt Dale Campsite with a volunteer guide.

The Bibbulmun Track crosses Dale Rd not far from Mt Dale. The summit of Mt Dale offers fabulous views to the west and south-west. If there is time after the walk we encourage you to drive up to the lookout. From Dale Rd we descend toward the Mt Dale Campsite which has been recently refurbished. The shelter has been extended to accommodate more people. It is surrounded by impressive stands of Kingia Australis.  The walk to the Brookton Campsite is relatively flat passing through magnificent stands of Wandoo and along some old rail formations along Plunket Rd. The Brookton Campsite is set up for those with mobility impairment and accommodates people with wheelchairs who come in from the Brookton Highway. Both campsites have a pit toilet, water tank and water. Getting to the walk involves driving some distance on gravel roads.

    Hi folks, I have been a member with the Foundation since 1999 and became a volunteer guide after participating in the Walk with Dad event many years ago. See you out there!

    Hi! I have been interested in the bush since an early age and have walked small sections of the Track since its inception. Early years were spent taking family and Scout Groups on weekends camping and bush walking. I maintain a section south of Collie and walking the Track has given me a great deal of enjoyment. I was part of the 10th Anniversary Walk when I completed my first end-to-end. Since this time I have spent many hours, volunteering in the office and leading walks to ensure others know and enjoy the Bibbulmun Track as I do. My favourite is to catch a bus and spend my friendship with the bush for some days and slowly come back, to where it may take me!
