Hiking Adventures

"Why I love hiking the Bib Track"

Hiking the Bibbulmun Track is one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had. Stretching over 1,000 km from Kalamunda to Albany, it takes me through some of Western Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes—ancient forests, coastal cliffs, and rugged bushland. Every step immerses me deeper into the land, offering a sense of freedom and connection that’s hard to find elsewhere.

The physical benefits are undeniable. Walking for hours strengthens my legs, joints, and cardiovascular system, while the clean, fresh air fills my lungs. But the real magic happens in my mind. The steady rhythm of hiking calms my thoughts, and being surrounded by nature melts away stress. There’s something about the simplicity of just walking—no distractions, no rush—that brings incredible mental clarity and inner peace.

Even more powerful is the connection to Country. Following the paths once walked by the Noongar people, I feel deeply linked to the history and spirit of this land. The towering karri trees, granite outcrops, and wild ocean windsremind me of how small yet connected I am to nature. Hiking the Bibbulmun Track isn’t just a physical challenge—it’s a journey of respect, appreciation, and belonging.
