General Comments

Amazing, gob-smacked and blown away with the natural beauty we have on our doorstep - despite living in Perth & the South West almost all my life it never ceases to astound me how.

Food/Supplies Comments

Never ever, ever want to see another peanut.

Favourite Section

Mt Wells to Chadoora & Mt Chance to Woolbales.

Highlights

Reading the RED books - even though I am not very inventive or creative, I enjoyed everyone’s little anecdotes.

Personal Reactions

Daily - “Yeah, I can see the shelter”!

Wildlife

Snakes (lots), kangaroos, emu and heaps of chicks, feral pigs (lots), wallabies, possums, bandicoot, woylies, quokka, lots of birds.

Your Best Equipment

Gaiters - stopped ticks & legs being wrecked.

Your Worst Equipment

Steripen died and I did change the batteries!

Advice for Others

No-one can remember that you were wearing those same clothes yesterday…..or the day before…...or the day before. Pack light, don’t stress just enjoy the day whatever it thrown at you. Have rest days in all the great towns…we did! And our feet loved us for it.
