The Bibbulmun Track walk from Pemberton to Northcliffe is well known for pleasant walking through the karri forest. If you’re looking to complete another section of the Bibbulmun Track, then this one at 57km in total, is achievable over the four days comfortably.

We begin at the Trailhead in town, ambling through the backstreets until we reach the beginning of the Karri Forest and the mighty Gloucester Tree. Those who wish to climb the Gloucester Tree will have the opportunity to do so on Sunday if we're running short of time today. Today's walk will consist of a few ups and downs and is through stunning Karri Forest ...... A great way to start our four day walking experience.

This morning, after breakfast we hit the track again for a beautiful walk in the Karri Forest, stopping at the Schafer Campsite for lunch and spending some time here to reflect on the tranquil surrounds and beauty of the area. Schafer Campsite is right on the river in a stunning setting and is close to the end of our walking day, so we encourage you to throw off your boots and cool the feet, or if you're feeling adventurous take the plunge and go for a dip!!
Today’s walk finishes up just after lunch, so we'll head back to Pemberton where you'll have a little leisure time - our guides can drop you in town if you wish to pick up supplies, enjoy a cuppa or coldie at the Pemby Pub.
