Bibbulmun Track - Camel Farm to Hewitt's Hill Return 6.5km

Camel Farm to Hewitt's Hill and Return 6.5km. 

9AM, meet at the side of the Bike Shop. 361 Paulls Valley Road, Paulls Valley WA 6076

Starting from the now-closed Kalamunda Camel Farm, where there is ample car park, a nearby mountain bike circuit and a cafe with toilet facility. We will walk approximately 3 km each way to the mid-point destination, the Hewitt Hill Shelter, where we will stop for a short break and snacks (Light Refreshment will be provided) before heading back the same way back to Camel farm. This is a fairly easy walk with minimal change in elevation and not too far from Kalamunda. It will also provide the families with experience of the Bibbulmum Track. They will get to see what the campsite looks like, the drop toilet and water tanks. I estimate the time needed to be about 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours depending on pace.
