Food/Supplies Comments
Couscous very convenient.
Favourite Section
Donnelly River Village - Northcliffe (plus Balingup & Frankland River campsite).
Highlights
The numerous imaginative stories that came out at night time - views. Seeing the shelter at the end of a long day - meeting beautiful & inspiring people.
Personal Reactions
Strengthened confidence in myself, appreciation of wildlife & simplicity.
Wildlife
Amazing diversity - if you stop to listen & observe, keep an eye out for wildflowers and hiding marsupials.
Your Best Equipment
Lightweight hammock was well worth the extra 2 kg!
Your Worst Equipment
Boots (leather gave me chronic blisters).
Advice for Others
It gets easier after the initial 6-10 days - don’t hurry, you have all day day. Definately worth doing.
