General Comments
Absolutely one of the best things I have ever done, thanks to everyone
who looks after the track.
Food/Supplies Comments
Being a vegan, it was tough getting suitable food at times, but I needed to lose weight.
Favourite Section
From Woolbales to Long Point, ahh finally the ocean.
Highlights
Turning from a soft weakling into a fit and accomplished hiker, really learning to appreciate our beautiful country. Met some great people too.
Personal Reactions
Shock at first, then just learning to live in the moment and try and forget my pain.
Wildlife
Lots of kangaroos, birds, snakes, emus, lizards and March flies.
Your Best Equipment
Great backpack (Macpac).
Your Worst Equipment
Sleeping bag and we carried too much gear.
Advice for Others
Even if you are not all that fit, give it a go but take your time so you can actually enjoy it. Pack light but take enough tea & chocolate for the long evenings.
