We all need training and refreshing from time to time whether you are an old hand in the industry or you are new to tour guiding and eco-tourism. We encourage you to go along, don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to improve or update your skills, Dr Dave himself will be there in the flesh so go along and say g’day!

 

“What do you find satisfying in life?”

For me, nothing beats the feeling of getting away from it all to a special place, like when you go on holiday. Just imagine yourself getting away from the rat race to enjoy the peace and quiet of the great outdoors, a remote place like West Cape Howe, the most southern point in Western Australia! A spectacular cliff top,  the captivating deep blue sea and good clean air.  Sometimes the simple things in life are the most satisfying.

The Munda Biddi Cycle Trail  is nearing completion.  It has been an epic effort to get to this point and the official opening of the whole cycle trail (1000km long) will occur very soon. It will be the longest cycle trail of its kind in the world!!!

26 lucky riders will be undertaking the first Munda Biddi Epic 1000 Ride. These riders will be the first officially registered cyclists to complete the Munda Biddi Trail from end to end. The riders will leave from Albany at midday on April 7 and finish at Mundaring (outside of Perth) on Sunday April 28, 2013.

Get your bike ready, set, go! Join in the action by accompanying the cyclists on a stage of their journey.

Do yourself a favour and go for a walk but if you really want to experience something extra special then think about the Bibbulmun, not just a bushwalk but a real adventure!  As a new year resolution I’ll also be blogging from now on about the Bib so have a look at my new walking blog and let me know what you think
