The beginning of the Bibbulmun Track for north to south hikers and the closest point to the major city of Perth, the Darling Range section of the track is also the longest town to town distance. For 211km the track stretches over granite hills, through a wonderful selection of eucalyptus forest and across the landscape towards Dwellingup. Be amazed at the sunsets overlooking the Lake CY O'Connor catchment or the endless views from one of the bare granite domes in the Monadnocks Conservation Zone to the stunning wildflower display on show every spring. This is a great introduction to the Bibbulmun Track and for many the start of a life changing journey.
