Itinerary
Welcome to Western Australia! Departing from Perth, you’ll head south and, morning tea and lunch on the way, you’ll arrive in the historic town of Torbay this afternoon where its time to head out on your first ride on the Munda Biddi Trail. In the Noongar Aboriginal language, Munda Biddi translates to 'path through the forest' and over the next few days you will see exactly why it is named that. From Torbay, the trail is mostly easy going, with the odd hill. You’ll ride straight to your accommodation for the night, in the centre of the quaint coastal town of Albany. After a refreshing shower, you'll take a short walk to dinner where you can relax and enjoy your first meal together as a group.
Accommodation:
- Albany Motel & Apartments (or similar) (Number of Nights: 1)
Straight after breakfast you’ll drive (with the bikes on the trailer) back out to Torbay – the southernmost point on mainland Western Australia. Enjoy today’s ride with a gentle riding surface and only a few hills as you wind through the forest terrain. You’ll finish the days ride at your accommodation in Denmark, where you’ll be staying for the next three nights.
Accommodation:
- The Cove - Denmark (or similar) (Number of Nights: 1)
From Denmark, it’s a particularly scenic ride along the Wilderness Ocean Walk (WOW) trail, where you’ll ride past Light’s Beach and continue to Green’s Pool – one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches. After morning tea, there is a long uphill trail towards Mt Shadforth, followed by a long downhill to Scottsdale Road. Today’s ride is partly along the coastline before turning up through farmland. At the end of the ride, your private vehicle will be waiting to take you back to Denmark for the night.
Accommodation:
- The Cove - Denmark (or similar) (Number of Nights: 1)
Today’s ride begins by weaving your way through farmland and past trail-side huts and campsites. After morning tea, you’ll head back into the tall trees of the National Park, riding along the gravel and at times sandy trails. The vehicle will be waiting for you at Nornalup Rd, to take you back to Denmark for your last night.
Accommodation:
- The Cove - Denmark (or similar) (Number of Nights: 1)
This morning you’ll check-out of your accommodation in Denmark before hitting the trails. Starting at Middle Rd, today’s ride is mostly in National Park – through Tingle Forest and following the river. You’ll see a variety of Karri Forest and Tingle trees as you get closer to Walpole. There are some long uphill sections and fun downhill sections on today’s ride and a mix of terrain. Tonight, you’ll stay in Walpole. Enjoy another local restaurant to celebrate the (almost!) completion of the trail.
Accommodation:
- Tree Top Motel - Walpole (or similar) (Number of Nights: 1)
After breakfast you’ll set out on your last ride. This short ride will give you views of the Nornalup inlet at Coalmine Beach before you arrive in Walpole. From here, there will be time for a shower and morning tea before you head back to Perth, where your trip comes to an end.
