DWELLINGUP TO KALAMUNDA SECTION INFO, DIVERSIONS AND GROUPS Updated: 2026-03-27 00:01 DIVERSIONS Mundaring Weir after hours alternate route The Mundaring Weir wall is usually open until 5pm (4pm in winter) each day at which time the gates are closed. If the gates are closed take the alternative route to the other side of the wall. Directions From the south end of the wall (southbound walkers) follow the markers beyond the toilet block to cross the river at the small footbridge at the base of the wall. Turn right toward the wall and then follow markers ascending steps and an old railway formation up to the top to re-join the Bibbulmun Track. North Bannister spur Trail North Bannister is linked to the Track via an approx. 1.5km spur. The Roadhouse and service station is defunct (as at 23/3/23). If and when the situation changes, it will be posted here. Directions From Gringer Creek campsite follow the marked trail in front of the shelter. From the defunct roadhouse, cross the side street (which runs off Albany Highway) and look for the trail marker and walk trail to the campsite. Boonerring Hill spur trail Walkers can take a short spur trail to the summit for outstanding 360° views of the area. Directions Take the 400 metre trail to the left once you have reached the ridge line behind Boonerring Hill. Ensure you stay off the fragile moss and lichen on the rocky top. Nyingarn Bidi Loop The Nyingarn Bidi links Chadoora Campsite with Swamp Oak Campsite south of Dwellingup making a three-day loop. Directions The Nyingarn Bidi also uses the Bibbulmun Track Waugal symbol but in a rich tangerine colour. Follow the markers around 500m west of Chadoora Campsite from the main Track and rejoin the Bibbulmun Track around 4.5km south of Swamp Oak Campsite, some 16km later. Commencing in Dwellingup, walkers can undertake this loop in either direction. Powerline Road realignment The Bibbulmun Track has been permanently realigned away from the powerlines south of Mt Cooke. Directions Southbound walkers: after descending Mt Cooke, cross the powerline onto newly built trail (the Track no longer follows the powerline). Continue following the markers for 900m (including a 300m section along Kennedy Rd - watch for the left turn off Kennedy Rd) until reaching Cooke Rd and turn left toward Nerang Campsite on the original alignment. Northbound walkers: before reaching powerline, turn right off Cooke Rd onto a newly built trail (watch carefully for the turn). The Track no longer follows the powerline. Continue following the markers for 900m (including a 300m section along Kennedy Rd - watch for the left turn off Kennedy Rd) until reaching the powerline. Then cross straight over powerline road onto the original alignment. Campfire ban – Darling Range Location: Kalamunda to Dwellingup Campfire bans are now in place at all campsites along this entire section including: - Hewett’s Hill - Ball Creek - Helena - Waalegh - Beraking - Mt Dale - Brookton - Canning - Monadnocks - Alyi-wa Miya Group Campsite - Mt Cooke Group Campsite - Mt Cooke - Nerang - Gringer Creek - White Horse Hills - Mount Wells - Chadoora Walkers will need to use their fuel stoves. Campfire bans are usually in force until at least March, and sometimes April, along the entire length of the Bibbulmun Track. During campfire bans, walkers are not permitted to light any campfires or wood operated stoves and should carry a fuel stove. Campfire bans are lifted based on weather and other conditions. During the summer months, when bushfires are a very real danger, a total fire ban may be declared. On these days, walkers are not permitted to light any fires whatsoever including lighting a fuel stove. For information about locations of current total fire bans visit Emergency WA .
