The Bibbulmun Track is one of Australia's best long-distance bushwalking tracks. It is in Western Australia starting in the beautiful town of Kalamunda and stretches 1000 kilometres south to the historical coastal town of Albany. This bush track finds itself winding through conservation parks, national parks, past reservoirs, through jarrah, marri, and wandoo forests, past mines and old historical timber towns.
