Interesting to see another $3 million is going to be poured into the Munda Biddi for the use of so very few. Running on the Munda Biddi on a regular basis, it amazes me how few times I have ever come…Continue

"Hi Knoddie,
Agreed, safety of track walkers is paramount. There are arguments for and against the coordinates being widely available - and as mentioned previously we are progressing in this direction as it is becoming the 'norm' for…"

"My main motivation is to help prevent track users getting lost. There is nothing better than being able to look at a GPS when you have that "I haven't seen a marker sign for a while" feeling, to confirm exactly where you are in…"
The Bibbulmun Track Foundation replied to knoddie's discussion Online Map & GPS file of Bibbulmun Track now available
"Hi Knoddie
DEC and the Foundation have been reluctant to put the GPS coordinates of the Track - and particularly the campsites - into the public domain for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, there is a risk that people will rely on their GPS units…"

I don't know why, but trying to find an online Bibbulmun Track map or GPS file has up until now been pretty well impossible...well I have never had a lot of luck anyway.Anyway, I thought I would do something about it. I have used GPX tracks from other track users, and have developed one GPX file comprising 17 tracks covering the complete Bibbulmun Track from Kalamunda through to Albany, including waypoints for each campsite. Access the…See More

Just wanted to let people know that Cliff McKinley is starting an end to end of the Bibbulmun track starting in Albany tomorrow Thursday 21 April. He is planning to arrive in Kalamunda on Saturday 30 April. If he achieves this, i believe it will beat the previous record by over 5 days. He has a couple of spare days also, in case he needs them. When he set his ten day goal, he wasn't…See More

"Reading this thread nearly a year later may be a grave dig of a thread.
But isnt the bib track more apporpiate to use for a foot race instead of the mundabiddi.

"Hi Knoddie - I have had an alternate experience to yours meeting lots of people when out on the MBT - usually too many people and having to share the huts. WHo says you are not welcome running it? What trails would you rather see the money spent on?…"
knoddie replied to The Bibbulmun Track Foundation's discussion New Bibbulmun Track marking - tell us what you think!
"Camouflaged posts are not a good idea. The grey posts are only marginally more visible than the natural steel coloured ones on the Kep track. Munda Biddi yellow is great. The Bibbulmun red is good. Vote red!"
