On the last few days of the year 2006, Trudy and Gernot went bush
again—but for the first time by bike: we rode the Munda Biddi Trail
(“path through the forest“) in South Western Australia,
a 300km-long off-road tour. The whole trail
uses the wide network of
forest tracks, at times complemented by purpose-built single-file
mountain bike tracks. The northern end is at Mundaring, 40km east of
Perth, the present southern end is Collie (200km S of Perth). The
present trail represents about 1/3 of the final product, which is to
reach Albany in the SW of WA. As of January 2007, the middle section is under
construction, the final third is still in planning.
While either direction can be taken, we opted to head south, mostly because that seemed to give us the most flexibility should we finish early. Not knowing much about the trail, we had allowed 9 days based on the official maps and campsites provided.
