The boy and I parked up at the Hils Forest Centre and hiked about 12 kilometers to the Helena Campsite. It was fantastic. My legs still hurt from carrying the pack though.

Nice pic renth!

Was going to add that I ahd no idea where the bibbulmun track was but then I bothered to click on your thoughtfully provided link

We have now pretty much decided that we are going to Perth so hope to experience it for myself one day.

BTW - More pics please!

Looks like a rather scrummy bit of bush! The sort of place where the local birds wake you up in spectacular fashion in the morning. My kind of place!

Ha, what a coincidence!
We were staying at the Mundaring Weir Hotel Sat night (anniversary ), and walked to the weir, and the other way to Hills Forest.
Was thinking of you as you were saying your were doing part of the track soon! Saw 2 bobtails, which Pascal thought was great!

Finally saw what the name was of that new track I've talked about, which is more for mountain bikes: Munda Biddi
It's in that area too and goes south, but a bit more inland than the Bibbulmun.

So, did the flies drive you crazy? Or were you prepared? Once we used a little branch to wave in front of us, we were alright compared to waving arms in front of us!
Then, unfortunetly, at night the mozzies kept us awake from 4am(IN the room!) Still was good though. I love the hills. Next time will be camping!

Nice one Renth.

We've gone mountain biking around there quite a few times and it's great. We've always headed North from Hills Forest and done the loop that goes up to Mundaring then comes back down the other side.

Keep saying we are going to try and do some more of the track, but have yet to make it!

I try not to get stressed about the flies, it's a sign of settling in. However there must have been 1000 on my rucksack, which was fine. Untill I put the rucksack down and they all swarmed all over us.

Yeah, I just take them as a part of life here. Arms, legs, t-shirt all fine. Eyes, mouth , nose, ears not!
Pascal's still getting used to them! he he
He should be very glad there's none(hardly) around our house! Yet....
