General Comments
I ran into a lot of snakes. As a solo walker, I probably didnt make enough noise to warn them off - lucky not to be bitten.
Food/Supplies Comments
Two resupply pick ups. Weetbix, rice excellent foods to carry.
Favourite Section
Frankland River.
Highlights
Not seeing anyone. I walked from Walpole to Mundaring without seeing more than 2 or 3 other walkers - brilliant.
Personal Reactions
A great walk. Best done on your own. Someone will be bitten by a snake one day.
Wildlife
SNAKES!!
Your Worst Equipment
Bad fitting shoes.
Advice for Others
Do it. As a solo walker in summer I carried up to 10ltrs of water in very remote areas as a safety margin for injury or water not being available at campsites. As a solo walker you have to be willing to carry extra.
