'Waugal'

The Bibbulmun Track is one of the world's great long distance walk trails, stretching nearly 1000kms from Kalamunda, a suburb in the hills on the outskirts of Perth, to the historic town of Albany on the south coast. It passes through the heart of the scenic South West of Western Australia.

The Track is for walkers only and is signposted with yellow triangular markers symbolising the "Waugal" (rainbow serpent of the aboriginal Dreaming). It takes walkers through towering karri and tingle forests, down mist-shrouded valleys, over giant granite boulders and along breathtaking coastal heathlands. It passes through many of the most beautiful national parks of the South West forests and coastline.

I walked the "Track" in 1989 and will be walking part of it in 3 weeks time - can't wait.
