Plunge in to the wild world! This adventure is a deep dive in to the wonders of Mother Earth. Over the course of seven days you’ll step out on to the Bibbulmun Track and be guided by the Waugal markers through the regal forests of Pemberton. The Waugal means soul, spirit or breath, and is the major spirit for Noongar people and central to their beliefs and customs.
This is the flagship bushwalking adventure of Natural Perspectives. A truely transformative experience where the healing power of nature is felt at the soul level. This is a journey deep in to the inner and outer mysteries for you to envision new possibilities.
This hike is a physically, mentally and spiritually demanding experience for those who have a high level of fitness and/or are experienced bushwalkers. We will be covering 109km ascending up and down the Pemberton forests, and snaking our way alongside the majestic Donnelly River.

Participants must be in good health and in good physical condition. Participants will be required to walk up to 24km in a single day, and at times, steep uphill terrain. This hike is physically demanding and requires that you are in great physical fitness and/or are an experienced hiker.
It is vital that participants with medical conditions make them known prior to the adventure. The remote nature of the walks means there can be considerable delays in reaching medical support, and evacuations can be prolonged and expensive. Medical and evacuation expenses will be the responsibility of the participant.
