Cape to Cape Track Walk overview

The popular Cape to Cape Track in WA’s South West stretches ~130km through Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park from Cape Naturaliste lighthouse in the north to Cape Leeuwin lighthouse in the south.  The end-to-end walk typically takes 5-7 days (one-way). WalkGPS provides GPX and KML files for the full track length, including GPS ‘track’ and ‘route’, plus campsite locations as waypoints. But for detailed information and advice see ‘Other info’ tab as WalkGPS’ main focus is on circuit walks and lesser known walk opportunities that have not previously been well documented elsewhere.
