A rite of passage for the kids!

Ok Dad (or Grandpa), it’s time to get the kids out into the bush, camping like you used to do with your dad!

Give mum a break and give yourselves the chance to spend two days with the kids (8yrs - 13yrs) to rediscover each other and the bush by walking around 10km each day. Learn to set up camp and try out some of your own camp cooking. Also experience an optional walk ascending to the summit of Mt Cooke (5km return) without all your gear!

Includes return transport from Murdoch Park'n'Ride, guided walk, map, comprehensive planning night, trip preparation manual and equipment hire. BYO food.

The price stated is for one adult and one child. An extra child per booking is welcome provided there is space. Max two kids per adult.

    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!
