The Cape to Cape Track geology and the rocks of Margaret River’s iconic 132km hiking trail have a mind-blowing story to tell. When the earliest European geologists first laid eyes on the local basement rock and saw how different it was to the more familiar basement rock of the Perth hills, they were instantly intrigued and compelled to learn more.

Shaped by techtonic forces and a supercontinent

The incredible geological story that has since unfolded involves:
– the collision of giant continental plates
–  millions of tonnes of magma being squeezed five kilometres up in the air and being capped with snow
– the rise and demise of the super-continent Gondwanaland
– the whole Cape to Cape strip becoming an island in the sea
– and lots more!

A geological story continuing to unfold in the Margaret River region

 

“And the list of things that we still don’t know about the local geology is just as captivating as the things we do know,” says our Day 1 guide and rock guru Andrew Green (pictured below). Andrew used to manage the Margaret River region’s amazing tourist caves before signing on as a guide to be among the rocks he loves so much.

Stone age pass to Cape to Cape rock show

“When you hike with Cape To Cape Explorer Tours, you’ll join us for a rock show you’ll never forget,” he says. “Your stone age backstage pass gets you access to all the in-depth underground info from our knowledgeable guides. That’s info that a lot of track hikers miss out on.”

A trail spanning dreamy beaches and soaring cliffs

Want to know more about the Cape to Cape Track? It stretches between lighthouses at Cape Naturaliste in the north and Cape Leeuwin in the south, where the Indian meets the Southern Ocean.

It meanders through towering forests. Dreamy white-sand beaches. Six hundred million-year-old granite cliffs and marbles. And scenic coastal paths lined with the region’s iconic orchids and wildflowers. You’ll spy humpback whales leaping and surfers riding giant waves. The Track is also home to an incredibly rich diversity of wildlife, with a fascinating indigenous and European history.

Varied terrain over Margaret River’s wilderness trail

 The Track is a challenging walk at times due to the diversity and nature of the terrain. The experience ranges from extended soft sand beach walks, through to steep (but short) climbs over loose limestone. It involves long, extended hikes that will challenge even the fittest in the group. As such, pre-trip preparation is strongly recommended to make the trip enjoyable and to reduce the risk of injury!
