Bibbulmun Track guidebook day 58 from Hidden Valley to Albany

Day 58 Hidden Valley to Albany

Time (excluding rests)

5 hours

Distance

19.8 kilometres

From Hidden Valley you can see and just about taste the spoils of Albany! The Bibbulmun Track continues to weave in and out along the coast passing near huge windmill generators. If you're lucky you may see dolphins, or even whales between the months of July and October. The Bibbulmun Track leaves the coast and heads north towards Albany after about 8 kilometres. A gradual ascent towards Little Grove, a long walk around Frenchman's Bay and your mission is complete.

Albany at last

Left my last hut on the Bibbulmun Track at 7:30 am. Each step is done with a spring in my step knowing that it will all be over today.

Very windy conditions meant that I was glad to leave the coast after about 8 kilometres. Skirting Frenchman's Bay around 11 am, I saw Margaret who I met at Denmark Backpackers (she is Danish). She told me about the YHA on Duke Street, which I ducked into right on 12:10 to watch Makybe Diva win the Melbourne Cup. Watched a bit of video, Shawshank Redemption, and chatted with Simon till 1:45 pm.

Left to hit Southern Terminus a 2pm and meet Mum and Kate. Saw them before the finish line, at the Amity Boat, so after a brief chat, and tour of the ship, I reached my final destination at 2:40pm.

Booked in at the YHA and then walked to Dog Rock Motel for lovely dinner at Albany Church of Christ with Mum and Kate (sister) who coincidentally were on holiday in Albany.

Finishing the walk was a bit of an anti-climax but the walk was about the journey rather than the destination. 58 days of simplicity, living out of a backpack, is hard to sum up or put into adequate words. I think Luigi Momel sums it up best out of the Bibbulmun Track log book when she says:

"Getting out in the bush, away from the hassles of city life is something everyone needs to do."

I agree. It certainly was a peaceful, happy experience. Thanks for trekking with me...

Getting back to Perth - if that's where you are going, is by bus - see details in the YHA.

Saga Dawa Festival Trip with Limi Valley 2008
Eco-friendly Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd.
Venture through the heart of Tibet to discover its age-old traditions of spirituality!!!
Web Page: http://www.nepalholiday.com/nepal/nepal_trekking/mt.kailash_simikot_trekking_nepal/simikot-kailash-circuit-limi-valley-treks.html

SAGA DAWA is the most important Festival in Tibet commemorates Shakyamuni's Buddhahood & the death of his mortal body. At every monastery sutras are recited and 'Cham' dances are performed. Trek on Asia�s holiest mountain, Mt Kailash for the colorful Saga Dawa festival and join devotees as they celebrate Buddha's birth and enlightenment. Visit Lake Gaurikund, where Hindu pilgrims take ritual baths, stay in monasteries, join pilgrims in Lhasa and spend time in tiny Tibetan villages. From the sky-high religions of Tibet, travel across mountain ranges and wide plains to the buzzing cultural city, Kathmandu.

Limi Valley is a land of eternally snow-capped mountains and sweeping valleys. A land as eerie and forbidding as the landscape of some distant moon, its people all but forgotten by the rest of the world. Their lives are a struggle � the alpine soil metes out sustenance grudgingly, and long winters threaten to banish the warmth of life forever. Yet these lives yield untold riches. As if the splendid isolation and sheer altitude of the hidden Himalayas bring them closer to the gods, the people of this land are possessed of a spirituality few Westerners will ever know.

	Saga Dawa Festival Trip with Limi Valley 2008 Eco-friendly Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd. Venture through the heart of Tibet to discover its age-old traditions of spirituality!!! Web Page: http://www.nepalholiday.com/nepal/nepal_trekking/mt.kailash_simikot_trekking_nepal/simikot-kailash-circuit-limi-valley-treks.html SAGA DAWA is the most important Festival in Tibet commemorates Shakyamuni's Buddhahood & the death of his mortal body. At every monastery sutras are recited and 'Cham' dances are performed. Trek on Asia�s holiest mountain, Mt Kailash for the colorful Saga Dawa festival and join devotees as they celebrate Buddha's birth and enlightenment. Visit Lake Gaurikund, where Hindu pilgrims take ritual baths, stay in monasteries, join pilgrims in Lhasa and spend time in tiny Tibetan villages. From the sky-high religions of Tibet, travel across mountain ranges and wide plains to the buzzing cultural city, Kathmandu. Limi Valley is a land of eternally snow-capped mountains and sweeping valleys. A land as eerie and forbidding as the landscape of some distant moon, its people all but forgotten by the rest of the world. Their lives are a struggle � the alpine soil metes out sustenance grudgingly, and long winters threaten to banish the warmth of life forever. Yet these lives yield untold riches. As if the splendid isolation and sheer altitude of the hidden Himalayas bring them closer to the gods, the people of this land are possessed of a spirituality few Westerners will ever know.
