Introduction
The Camino Salvado follows the Pilgrims Trail from Salvado Road in Subiaco, where St Josephs Church is found, to New Norcia. The trail is approximately 160kms long and travels through the City’s financial district, past places of historical interest and out of the metropolitan area via the beautiful Swan river foreshore. It travels via Bells rapids, where the white water Avon descent passes and into Walyunga National Park, a place of spiritual significance for the Noongyar People. Then its the Chittering Valley to Julimar Forest: the trail has been refined to take walkers away from the highway as much as possible, so the trail then follows tracks and trails through bush and farmland until we meet the Old Plain Rd that takes us to New Norcia. In 2011 we were fortunate to receive sponsorship funding from Bauxite Alumina Joint Ventures, to help defray transport costs. This sponsorship helped recognize the educational, environmental and social benefits both organizations hope to bring to the Communities we pass through.
