This shared-use, dual direction trail follows the path taken by German and Italian Prisoners of War (POW) when they walked from Marrinup to the ‘cage in the bush’ that felt a world away from their homelands.

Starting from Marrinup Townsite Campground and initially following the iconic Munda Biddi Trail, World Away will take you to the start of both the Marrinup POW Camp walk trail and the Cloak and Dagger mountain bike trail.
