Helena Shelter on the Bibbulmun Track

18 months after its destruction in a bushfire, the Helena Campsite was officially re-opened on 28 June 2019.

Parks & Wildlife Services collaborated with the Foundation regarding the design and took on board all the feedback provided by members and volunteers in our vision survey and workshop. We are very happy with the result which is based on the Deep South design and retains the renowned views from the shelter.

The shelter was given its first test and christening by a group of BTF volunteers who stayed there overnight while finishing off the new tent sites, internal trails and signage.

The campsite features:

Sleeping platforms to cater for up to 24 walkers
11 tent sites
Two water tanks
Plenty of hooks to hang your gear
Attachment points on the openings to hang a tarp if it is windy
Five picnic tables (four under cover)
Large toilet with plenty of room to get changed inside and an awning for shelter if you’re queuing in the rain!
Some of the best views to wake up to over the Helena valley

REMEMBER TO CARRY AND DRINK ENOUGH WATER.
