Bibbulmun Track, long-distance walk trail in Western 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 open year-round, but the best time to walk is from September to April when temperatures are milder and rain is less frequent. Visitors should carry plenty of water, stick to marked sections, and check shelter availability in advance as conditions can vary.
The name comes from the Noongar language of the region's Indigenous peoples and roughly means "the way of music". This reflects the deep connection between the land and its original inhabitants.
