An excellent chance to enhance your compass and map reading abilities awaits you. During this engaging yet more intensive weekend, we’ll delve into additional theory, with a special focus on practical application during a Rogaine.
This experience will teach you to navigate extended distances, including night-time navigation through unmarked terrain. There are no marked trails where we go, providing a unique challenge.
Enjoy vehicle-based camping on both Friday and Saturday nights, and be ready to traverse approximately 20km throughout the entire weekend. What makes this even more special is that we set up camp at our base camp. This means you don’t have to carry your overnight gear! We walk and navigate with only a day pack!
The best part of booking an event with us is that all profits go back to the maintenance of the Bibbulmun Track – you should be proud!
Included perks:
- Expert advice from the Bibb Track specialists.
- Trained and experienced Bibb Track guides with emergency devices.
- Theory session on Friday evening on how to use a compass and read a map.
- Plenty of practical tuition and tips before head into the bush.
- Comprehensive notes, and topographic map.
- Dinner Saturday night, breakfast and lunch on Sunday.
- Rogaine entry fee.
- Regular safety patrols and water refill stations out in the field.
- Detailed gear checklist.
- Equipment hire, including stove, mat, sleeping bag, and tent. Pick up and return from our conveniently located office in West Perth.
- Compass hire if required.
- Freedom to develop and navigate your own route if you feel skilled and confident enough.
- Great fun in a social atmosphere.
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 may be helpful as that course covers much more of the basic theory needed.
Exact location unknown until the week prior but this event will be held about 2hrs drive south-east of Perth.
You should plan to leave Perth no later than 2pm on Friday afternoon. But if you can’t, get in touch with us before you book. We will do our best to bring you up to speed if you miss the Friday afternoon theory.

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!
