Walpole Facilities
Our Walpole site is a testament to the community support which forms the foundation of the operations in WA. Generously donated by a local legend, Outward Bound has operated and perfected the Walpole circuit over 25 years.
With local secret spots and in-the-know campsites, we can take groups to uncharted havens.
The Walpole circuit is mainly expedition style hiking and camping, with groups working together to select their night’s campsite. Once the legs get sore, the groups hop on rafts to paddle across the Walpole inlet, where they might spot dolphins in the clear water.
FACILITIES
- On the Walpole property loving referred to as ‘The Block’, 4 remote bush campsites for groups to gather and eat around a roaring fire
- Basecamp with flushing toilets and hot showers (for client representatives only)
- River access with refreshing swim spots
