General Comments
A great walk, we walked the first half in 2006, then Donnelly River Village to Mandalay beach in 2007 and the final leg to Albany in 2008.
Food/Supplies Comments
Food and accommodation was great, we had our wives as back-up all the way, which meant we only stayed in camps when necessary.
Favourite Section
Mandalay Beach to Albany, followed by Donnelly River south.
Highlights
Meeting up with my brothers at a friends farm adjacent to Yourdamung campsite. We had a marvellous BBQ and fire during the evening, then the next day my brothers and our wives walked with us to Harris River Dam.
Personal Reactions
Doing the track in 3 sections made it feel that you hadn’t walked all that far.
Wildlife
Enjoyed the snakes from Donnelly River south (up to 7 sightings a day) and some close up photo opportunities.
Your Best Equipment
Good quality walking shoes.
Your Worst Equipment
Bottles of wine we carried out of Kalamunda - soon drank and never replaced.
Advice for Others
Have a go and enjoy the contrasts from the northern end, the central section and the southern end.
