General Comments
I really enjoyed my trips along the Track, I learnt so much from other people, have had fun and met great friends during this time.
Food/Supplies Comments
Well now when I shop there is food for home and food for the Track, the Track food cupboard is alway full ready to go. Making up new recipes is fun, getting your imagination working overtime.
Favourite Section
Denmark to Albany is just gorgeous, I loved around Pemberton too, you know what, I loved it all.
Highlights
Meeting my best mates ever, Julie through the Bibbulmun Notice Board and Jacqui while heading to Murray shelter… Thanks, girls for all the fun we have had and will continue to have.
Personal Reactions
Some people said “Oh that’s hard you can’t do that”. Well I nearly believed them. My first walk was on a very hot Easter weekend through Dwellingup, I had just given up smoking, I was unfit and overweight, so many hill, I complained a lot, my new friend Julie said “Well, this is the Bibbulmun Track” in other words harden up princess..ha ha.. so I did.
Wildlife
Hmmmm! Well I had possums land on my head, ants up my pants, ticks from head to toe, pigs in the distance, kangaroos eat my food and mice eat my food sack, spider webs in my hair…still can’t find the spider and a snake slither past me while sitting. Gotta love it.
Your Best Equipment
My platypus water containers. (thanks Jacqui).
Your Worst Equipment
Is in the bin.
Advice for Others
No advice, well, if any…just do it your way.
