General Comments

A great way to spend a couple of months.  All involved in the running and maintenance of the track, deserve a pat on the back.

Food/Supplies Comments

Make sure you take enough chocolate to last you between towns.

Favourite Section

Walpole to Pemberton, varied terrain and flora.

Highlights

Coming over the sand ridge that opens up to the “Show grounds” before Peaceful Bay.  Views from all the tops of hills and the coastline.  Not getting 1 blister.

Personal Reactions

So glad I did it.

Wildlife

Saw heaps of red tailed black cockatoos, the red and blue wrens were good company in camp and only 1 snake sighting.

Your Best Equipment

My blister free “Mack” boots.

Your Worst Equipment

My legs at the start of the walk.  They did improve.

Advice for Others

Make sure your boots are broken in and remember you have all day to get to the next campsite.
