Create special memories with your little one by experiencing a fun filled
overnight hiking adventure with Off The Beaten Track WA!

Together you will hike through the Jarrah forest in Mundaring for a short but
very sweet 2.7kms to Ball Creek Campsite. After we set up the tents and your
homes for the night, you will learn bush craft and camping skills from our
experienced guides. As the sun goes down we will light the campfire* and make
our tasty damper to go with our delicious dinner. After dinner, out come the
head torches for some possum spotting and a short night hike!

On day two we will leave the heavy packs at camp and head on up the Bibbulmun
Track for a short hike to Manns Gully for a short basic survival session with
the kids before returning to camp, packing up and heading back through the
forest for our return hike.

Taking the next step into overnight hiking can be very rewarding and a lot of
fun, especially when you share that experience with your child. It’s important
to be prepared and feel confident so you have an awesome experience! This is
your chance to give overnight hiking a go with our experienced Off The Beaten
Track WA hiking guides who will assist you, educate you and answer any
questions you may have.

Day 1 – Saturday

After meeting at PHDC (to hand out your purchased food packs or small hire
equipment) and loading up ready with your overnight gear, we kick off our 2
days on the Bibbulmun Track by hiking for a gentle 2.7km through the beautiful
mixed jarrah forest. Arriving at Ball Creek campsite, your guides will run
through camp etiquette and give you a brief orientation before providing you
with some guidance on tent site selection and set up.

With camp all set, it is time to lean some bushcraft skills, and forage for
firewood. Late afternoon we will get out the stoves and you will cook
yourselves some dinner, and with the help of your handy OTBT Guide, we’ll
build a crackling campfire (weather permitting) for everyone to relax and
enjoy the mesmerizing flames and warmth. Then it’s time for a short but fun
night hike, until it’s time to retire to our tents and enjoy a night’s rest
serenaded by the chorus of the forest.

**Day 2- Sunday **

After waking up to the beauty of the forest you will fuel up on breakfast
before we depart for our hike along the Bibbulmun Track to Manns Gully. You
only need to carry your small pack with essentials for this 5km return hike.
At Manns Gully your guides will lead a basic survival session with the kids.

Back at Ball Creek camp we will have lunch before packing up and retracing our
steps back to Perth Hills Discovery Centre, arriving mid-afternoon. You and
the kids will finish with a huge feeling of achievement, having completed 3
hikes, as well as conquering an overnight experience.
