Bibbulmun Walking Breaks
Our Bibbulmun Walking Break self-guided itineraries range from two to six days, and combine suggested day-walks with interesting sights and attractions to visit, in and around the Track Towns.
Visitors can select one itinerary or join several together to create their own customised Bibbulmun Track holiday adventure. Each itinerary links to our Walker Friendly Business listings for accommodation and other services.
How our events benefit Perth & south-west businesses
Our award winning Events Calendar encourages people of all ages to experience the Track through a wide range of events. These include ‘Ramble and Paddle’, a walking and canoeing weekend in Dwellingup, and the ‘Balingup Explorer’, an introduction to do-it-yourself overnight bushwalking in the beautiful yet challenging Blackwood area. These events, as well as our group activities, use a number of local businesses for meals and refreshments, adventure activities, accommodation and transport.
