Day Walk Four: distance, grading and duration

The Bibbulmun Track’s Day Walk Four is listed as a 5.4 km circular walk. It starts at the Cosy Corner Beach Car Park on Cosy Corner Road in Kronkup. The route is graded as difficulty level 3 and takes one to three hours. The distance, grading and duration complement one another, but none replaces the others: the number of kilometres describes the route, the difficulty level its classification, and the time range the stated time required. This gives you a concise overview of this particular loop to help with your planning. Check the current track conditions before setting out.

A longer track section in the region

For a wider geographical perspective, the 85 km section of the Bibbulmun Track between Denmark and Albany is also relevant. This figure refers to a track section in the wider area, not the 5.4 km Day Walk Four loop. The comparison highlights the difference between an individual loop starting in Kronkup and a longer section between two towns. Both figures relate to the Bibbulmun Track, but represent different walking distances and levels of planning.

Historic railway connection

The former railway line from Denmark to Albany offers another regional perspective. Torbay, Kronkup, Elleker and Grasmere were once connected by this railway line. This places Kronkup in a historical context with three other settlements along the route between the two named towns. This perspective differs from the information about the Bibbulmun Track: the railway line is part of regional transport history, while the track information describes routes and their distances. This makes it possible to distinguish the former connection and the walking suggestions as different historical and geographical points of reference.
