Best 7 day section of Bibbulmun Track

Postby LAMEA-Gals » Fri 29 Oct, 2010 12:12 pm

Hi there
I'm planning on doing another section of the Bibbulmun Track with some friends relatively new to walking. I have done the Pemberton to Balingup section 3 years ago but want to do another bit. Does anyone have suggestions on a good scenic section - we would need to finish at a town to get transport back to Perth.

Walpole to Denmark would be my preference - not sure on times so best check with this lot http://www.bibbulmuntrack.org.au/Home.aspx
Magnificent country, enjoy!

Thanks for both posts. I've looked at my guidebook and agree that the Walpole to Denmark section sounds great. Forests, rivers and coast - sounds like a good mix. Even has the small town of Peaceful Bay thrown in halfway for an icecream stop!
