The Bibbulmun Track spans more than 1,000 kilometres from Albany to the Perth Hills and attracts more than 80,000 hikers each year. Some hard-core bushwalkers choose to trek the entire six-to-eight-week journey, although most opt to cover a smaller distance. But you don't have to go for a long time to have a good time, as there are a variety of short – in comparison, that is – day walks. A great place to start is the Camel Farm to Hewett’s Hill section in the Perth Hills. The trail is bursting with wildlife, making it ideal for those with a taste for birdwatching. Try to time your walk during the wildflower season from August to November.
