Walpole to Denmark 2009
This part of the track takes in both the majestic tingle forest as well as long deserted beaches, magnificent bays, and spectacular coastal cliffs. More challenging than Albany to Denmark, this 125km stretch includes some stiff climbs, undulating dunes and sandy beaches. You’ll also experience the wonderful Frankland River, Rame Head and Boat Harbour. Worth the effort! A 9 day trip with 7 days walking.
Albany to Denmark 2009
Walk this beautiful stretch of the Bibbulmun Track, taking in the dramatic southern coastline. Covering a total distance of approximately 75km, this walk is easier than the Cape to Cape, and still offers fantastic walking with brilliant wildflowers. Starting from the Bibbulmun track terminus in Albany we walk through the town and then along Princess Royal Harbour before we head over the ridge to walk above the southern ocean.
Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin 2009
Destined to become one of the great walks of the world, the Cape to Cape track meanders from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin. Enjoy spectacular cliff top hiking, deserted beaches and magnificent karri trees. This is a challenging walk, made very achievable by carrying only a day pack and returning to comfortable accommodation and great meals every evening.
In spring the wildflowers will astound you, with the hillsides ablaze with purple scaevola and pink pimelia. The sandy patches will reveal an amazing variety of orchids. There is also a chance of seeing whales at this time of year. Dolphins are often sighted surfing the waves, along with the board riders. This is an 8 day trip, with 7 days of walking. Each night walkers return to the same chalet accommodation on the outskirts of Augusta. A dedicated cook provides all meals. The total distance is 135km, or approx 20km/day. There is a lot of sand and beach walking and a good level of fitness is required, with preparation recommended.
