Walpole
This section gives walkers the best mix of forest and coast as well as, after Peaceful Bay, some of the most challenging days on the entire Track. Starting in the magnificent karri and tingle forest near Walpole and the Valley of the Giants, southbound walkers are led to the rugged and wild south coast of WA for the second time. Beyond Peaceful Bay and the canoe crossing on the Irwin Inlet, are three very challenging days, each more than 20km. Between Peaceful Bay and Denmark there is a mix of long beaches, soft and steep sand dunes, heathland and some forest.
Walpole
Located an hour and a half’s drive from Albany in the east and Pemberton in the west, Walpole is an ideal place to base yourself to explore the region and for walking on the Bibbulmun Track. The tiny town, which has a population of about 500, is located in a rather picturesque region of Western Australia where the cool waters of the Southern Ocean meet the tall, majestic forests of the southwest.
More InformationPeaceful Bay
Peaceful Bay is a picturesque holiday spot on the edge of the Southern Ocean. While it’s a bit of stretch to call Peaceful Bay a Track Town as it’s such a small community, we have included it in this section as it does offer accommodation and some services for walkers.
