General Comments

Before I started 1st September 2005 I had already walked it in stages to Donnelly River.

Food/Supplies Comments

Porridge sachets, fruit and nut mix, dehydrated dinners 125g each.

Favourite Section

Balingup to Northcliffe.

Highlights

My son meeting me at Mt Clare with wine and steak, sausages, eggs. And again at Rame Head with port.

Personal Reactions

A terrific experience. I would still like to do the complete track without a break. One day ...maybe!!

Wildlife

Snakes, only dugites south of Northcliffe, quendas, dive bombing grey butcher bird.

Your Best Equipment

My two false hips. One 10 years old the other 12 years. Walking poles.

Advice for Others

Keep the weight down. I never went over 15kg. Do some trial runs and don’t rush.
