General Comments
The Bibbulmun track is great. Although the track is very well marked, I often got lost. With the help of the maps and the description I was able to find the way again.
Food/Supplies Comments
25.12.22 I realized a food shortage in Murray Campsite for this reason I walked back to Dwellingup and quit this first attempt.
For the next attempt I have sent a food pack to Northcliffe (11.2.24).
I organized a warmer sleeping bag in Balingup.
Favourite Section
I enjoyed hiking the hard sections.
Highlights
The entire track is an experience.
Personal Reactions
It’s like a retreat in a monastery.
Wildlife
In the southern part I saw a lot of snakes.
I was a little bit afraid of kangaroos, the big ones give way only reluctantly.
Your Best Equipment
The shoes fit very well. Together with the trekking poles it was a pleasure to hike.
Your Worst Equipment
The backpack wasn’t that good, I always had pain in my shoulders.
I should have taken a mattress with me, it was hard to sleep on the boards.
Advice for Others
Just do it.
