General Comments
Very rarely did we not see 4wheel drive tracks or trail bike tracks. the track was not as isolated or inaccessible as we had thought. Lovely to meet all the end to enders - wonderful people.
Food/Supplies Comments
Definitely need to bring ‘sugar hits’. Dark chocolate and marshmallows worked well.
Favourite Section
Balingup to Donnnelly River Village.
Highlights
The sounds of the bush and the physical fitness by the end.
Personal Reactions
I have learnt ‘yes I can’ rather than ‘no I can’t’.
Wildlife
Snakes, kangaroos, red tailed cockatoos, wild pigs.
Your Best Equipment
Scarpa boots, (light hiking).
Your Worst Equipment
Equipment too heavy.
Advice for Others
Try to lighten the load carried in the pack. Don’t bring what you don’t use - be strict. One exception is a book to read in camp at night.
