Bibbulmun Track Walk overview

Western Australia’s popular long distance through-trail, the Bibbulmun Track, is well marked and maintained, stretching 1003km from Kalamunda near Perth to Albany on the southern coast. An end-to-end walk of the track typically takes 6-8 weeks (one-way). WalkGPS provides GPX and KML files for the full track length, including GPS ‘track’, plus the campsite locations as waypoints. The GPX track has been filtered to less than 10,000 track points to be suitable for import to most handheld GPS units. But for detailed information and advice see ‘Other info’ tab (especially the Bibbulmun Track Foundation’s website) as WalkGPS’ main focus is on circuit walks and lesser known walk opportunities that have not previously been well documented elsewhere.
