General Comments
Hooked on hiking; the Track keeps calling me back.
Food/Supplies Comments
Everything dehydrated, loved my 2 minute noodles, vegies, chilly and a tablespoon of peanut butter (presto - satay noodles)
Favourite Section
Hard to pick one, every day was special and every section has its own magic.
Highlights
To die for vistas on one hand and the beauty and magnitude of plant life on the other.
Personal Reactions
The downside of a wonderful thirty years relationship is loosing oneself in the us. The Bibbulmun Track gave me an opportunity for solitude in which to rediscover myself, face my fears and push my physical, mental and spiritual boundaries.
Wildlife
Kangaroos, emus, rabbits, lizards, snakes, possums, wild pigs and lots of different birds.
Your Best Equipment
Started to have conversations with my trusty backpack and walking stick, after days of not seeing anyone on the Track. They are yet to talk back to me but I keep trying.
Your Worst Equipment
Malfunctioning propane/butane cannister.
Advice for Others
Check you cannisters at point of purchase or at least before taking it out where you need to rely on it to get a hot meal. Other than that just DO IT…Get out there and live life.
