Bibbulmun Track, long-distance walk trail in Western Australia, Australia
The Bibbulmun Track is a long-distance trail in Western Australia that runs from the hills south of Perth all the way to the southern tip of the state, covering about 1000 kilometers. The path winds through forests, along coastal sections, and across open country, with shelter huts and rest areas spaced throughout the route.
The track was created in the 1970s as a recreational project, partly following older walking routes and regional paths. The infrastructure has been steadily improved since then to offer walkers a well-marked continuous experience.
The track is divided into 58 sections, each about a day's walk, except the northernmost 150 km where sections are half-day walks. Each section ends at a town or a campsite with a three-sided shelter, wooden sleeping platforms, a water tank, a pit toilet, picnic tables and cleared tent sites. In summer water is scarce outside the campsite tanks; open fires are banned in the southern section.
The triangular trail markers show the Wagyl, the snakelike Rainbow Serpent of Noongar Dreamtime, and the sign photographed near Sullivans carries this coiled figure with two yellow flowers for eyes. The track is walker-only: no wheeled vehicles are allowed, and a separate cycling route, the Munda Biddi Trail, runs generally to its west.
