General Comments

While I started out by myself, thinking that I will meet up with other walkers and camp with company.  I walked alone and camped alone in the majority of cases.  It wasn’t until I reached the lower sections that I started to meet up with others.

Food/Supplies Comments

Generally I obtained most of my food supplies from what I could purchase at the local Coles Store.

Favourite Section

The southern coast line and the hills area between Kalamunda and Dwellingup.

Highlights

There were many highlights - most of my own making and I only became lost once.

Personal Reactions

When first starting out (Brookton Hwy to Kalamunda) I found it was the toughest thing I have ever achieved.

Wildlife

Yes I saw them all, emus, kangaroos, possums, echidnas, flys & mozzies.  Plenty of birdlife too.

Your Best Equipment

Second backpack.

Your Worst Equipment

First backpack.

Advice for Others

Light weight packs make for light and comfortable hiking.  Add in good footwear.
