Day 1: Perth / Bibbulmun Track
Welcome to Western Australia! Departing from Perth, you’ll travel to Donnelly River where you’ll start the day’s walk. After a picnic lunch in the peaceful surrounds of this old logging town, you’ll head North along the track through Karri Forest. Keep an eye out for the old railway sleeper bridges that were used to cross some of the creeks in this area. You’ll finish today’s hike at Willow Springs – a mill site with the remains of the old arboretum. After a short drive, you’ll reach your accommodation in Bridgetown. Settle in and unpack before heading to dinner with your hiking group.
Day 2: Bibbulmun Track
From Willow Springs, you’ll continue north. Heading out of Karri Forest and past Gregory Brook shelter, this comfortable hike features remains of the old rail formations. This evening return to Bridgetown and maybe wander through the town and find a local restaurant for dinner.
Day 3: Bibbulmun Track
This morning, you’ll set out along the banks of the Blackwood River. Enjoy the diverse scenery, including views of the river valley forests and wildflowers in spring as you hike. As you reach the peak of Cardiac Hill, you’ll be rewarded at the top with panoramic views over the Blackwood Valley. Continue hiking on the Greenbushes loop to your pickup location for the day.
Day 4: Bibbulmun Track / Perth
Today’s hike is only short, finishing at the Golden Valley Tree Park. Take in the scenic views and wander through the different species of trees planted in the valley. Soon it’s time to say goodbye to the forest terrain of the Bibbulmun Track. On your way back to Perth, stop for lunch before arriving in the city in the late afternoon. This is where your trip ends.
