Food/Supplies Comments

Cheese, crackers and apple sliced is the best lunch I have discovered. Gatorade powder is man’s best friend.

Favourite Section

Balingup to Pemberton.

Highlights

Mt Wells campsite, Monadnocks, massive Karri trees, tadpoles, blue wrens, variety in diet (essential, Grandad Macs).

Wildlife

Saw an echidna near Dwellingup and it crawled up the hill to where I was sitting.

Your Best Equipment

Rain skirt/wrap, down jacket (it was freezing).

Advice for Others

Take mobile phone and charger, be prepared for cold weather. Wear boots not shoes for ankle support. Walking poles real help.
