HOW TO GET THERE AND AWAY
Travelling to the Start of the walk
Public Transport
TransWA offers a daily train/coach service from Perth to Bunbury and then on to Walpole. This service typically departs mid-morning from East Perth Terminal and Perth City Station, arriving between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM. It is highly recommended to double-check all timings before purchasing air tickets to Perth. Reservations for TransWA are essential and can be made up to three months in advance at www.transwa.wa.gov.au or by calling 1300 662 205 (from anywhere in Australia). If you plan to travel on concession rates, please call well in advance for details on ticket collection.
Self Drive
The drive from Perth to Walpole takes approximately 5 hours. If you leave your vehicle in Walpole, we can arrange a transfer back for you. Alternatively, your car can be left at your last accommodation in Denmark, ready for your arrival on the final day. Please contact our office to discuss how this works and to get an approximate cost for this additional service. Please note that Avis and Budget offer one-way rentals from Perth to Albany, but not to Walpole, so a private transfer would still be required. Daily car hire fees can also be very high.
By Air
REX Airlines operates daily flights between Albany and Perth. For any inquiries regarding Rex flights (departures, arrivals, and bookings), please call Rex directly on 131 713 or visit http://www.rex.com.au/Schedules/default.aspx.
From Albany, you can arrange a private transfer to Walpole with a taxi company such as Albany Taxis (phone: 08 9844 4444) or Terry (08 9842 1605 or 0414 684 834). Please be aware that this is a significant distance (119 km) and takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
As an alternative, you can take the TransWA bus from Albany Railway Station to Walpole, which takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes and departs once daily.
Travelling from the end of the walk
If you have a car in Walpole, we can arrange a private transfer to drop you back there (at an additional cost). Please contact our office for a quote.
If you arrived by public transport, there is a TransWa coach, which has a daily service currently departing Denmark mid-morning and arriving in Perth City at approximately 6:00 PM.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
INFORMATION PACK
For over 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.

Our group has just finished a 6 day walk through the Bibbulmun Track. Auswalks organised everything brilliantly which made our job simple by just enjoying ourselves and allowing us to just enjoy the walk through amazing areas of our country. I would highly recommend Auswalks to anyone as the company were a pleasure to deal with and nothing is too much trouble to them. We will be back to do another one soon. Thank you.
