Are The 'Friends of The Bibbulmun Track'? |
The Friends of
the Bibbulmun Track is
an incorporated, not-for-profit, community-based organisation
established to provide support for the management, maintenance
and marketing of the 'new' Bibbulmun Track.
Whilst CALM will continue to act as the manager of the Track,
the Friends will ensure that the Track "remains a long distance
walk trail of international significance and quality."
What we do:
-
Encourage community
participation, ownership and education.
-
Develop opportunities
for tourism, employment and training.
-
Advocate the
protection of natural and historical heritage values of
the Track.
-
Attract funds
and other resources.
-
Promote the
track as accessible to all!

| Why
we need you |
|
The Track and its
facilities are all currently free of charge but the maintenance
and marketing is a neverending challenge.
By joining the
FRIENDS you will help ensure that the Track will still be
there for future generations - well used, well maintained
and well loved.
