Permission has to be obtained from local landowners for this section as the Trail goes through agricultural areas where, at this time of year, lambing happens and crop spraying may be in progress. The walk takes you through glorious scenery where native orchids lie hidden in the bush,and there are glimpses of some iconic landmarks. 26kms.
The final day follows along Old Plains Road until it meets the Great Northern Highway 5kms south of New Norcia. It’s a beautiful day’s walking and there is a fantastic view of the Deep Space Telescope in the foothills to the west, just after lunch. This year we will be avoiding the Highway by taking a new route into New Norcia from the South. This adds a few kilometres but avoids fighting for road space with road trains! Well done: you’ve completed your Camino. Enjoy sung vespers at 6.30pm. 17.1kms
