Balingup - Grimwade Walk Trail
Sep

Balingup - Grimwade Walk Trail

18km return walk along the Bibbulmun Track, departing the delightful town of Balingup.
Meet at the Balingup Transit Park, corner of Walter Street and Brooke Street opposite the Balingup Oval. Please arrive by 8:45am, for a 9:30am departure.
We will be walking 9km along the trail, stopping for morning tea and lunch (BYO). Lunch will be on the northern side of Grimwade Road.
The walk takes us through a variety of landscapes and terrain (bush, river crossings, forest, plantations, farmland), something for everyone. The majority of the walk is along gently undulating terrain, with one challenging feature know locally as “Heartbreak Hill”. Poles will most likely be beneficial for this section. There are stunning views during the climb, so we can pause as needed to soak up the views. Wildflowers will hopefully be plentiful.
Two options for the return hike. Either back along the Bibbulmun for 9km, or walking along Grimwade Road (sealed bitumen road) for the 4km return to Balingup Oval. There will be a walk leader for each group should the alternate route be required.

Summary

Walk length: 18km
Reasonable level of fitness required
Drive: 67km from Bunbury along the South West Hwy to Balingup.
Once in Balingup turn left onto Jayes Road and then left onto Walter Street and you will see the oval and the transit park on your left.
Please contact Claire on 0419 941 303 for more information and to register. Please register by 17/09/2020.
