Start your story along Once Upon a Time from the Walpole trailhead. Find your way through Kingia's Landing and then climb Rapunzel’s Tower for views out over Kwakoorillup Beela (Frankland River), the Nornalup Inlet and the Southern Ocean.
From here, you'll turn onto the Bibbulmun Track and pass Delaney Lookout and Coalmine Beach which are both on the bank of the tranquil Nornalup Inlet. Walpole and the end of your journey is just a hop, skip and a jump from here.Â
