General Comments

A great experience. Unexpected bonus of meeting many N to S end to enders.

Food/Supplies Comments

Keep it simple - tended too much at the start. Resupply good except at Peaceful Bay & North Bannister.

Favourite Section

Karri Forest section - particularly Schafer - Warren.

Highlights

Meeting End to enders. The coming and going of the Karri - like a welcoming sentinal.

Personal Reactions

Tremendous feeling of personal achievement.

Wildlife

Bird chorus in the Karri forest, many snakes in southern half but none after Donnelly River.

Advice for Others

Plan carefully. Train as much as possible. Don’t overdo it the first few days - one section a day, especially from Kalamunda.
