Location

Bibbulmun Track Balingup | Bridgetown, WA

Join the adventure! As we listen to Country, connect in with the ancient rhythms, sleep under the stars, breath in the fresh forest air and journey in to the mysteries of the Earth. Over the course of three days you’ll step out on to the Bibbulmun Track and be guided by the Waugal markers. The Waugal means soul, spirit or breath, and is the major spirit for Noongar people and central to their beliefs and customs.
This hike is a good bushwalking weekender and introduction for folks looking to dip their toes on the trail and experience the grounded beauty of the natural world. Covering 19km through the foggy forests of Balingup over 3 days ensures plenty of time for relaxed sunsets, tranquil morning meditations and slow daytime saunters.
