General Comments
Wonderful experience and thanks to all who make it possible. Stressful some times when signs are sparse - I’m somewhat ‘map reading challenged’.
Food/Supplies Comments
Left food parcels in towns and North Bannister.
Favourite Section
Walpole to Northcliffe? All good.
Highlights
The solitude. And finding milo and longlife milk at Canning.
Personal Reactions
How lucky I am - so much to be grateful for. Life is good!
Wildlife
Kangaroos, lots of snakes, emus, echidna, rats, possums, owls, etc.
Your Best Equipment
Fleece neck-warmers, walking poles, silk liner.
Your Worst Equipment
Can’t fault any item at all.
Advice for Others
Prepare well. Weigh food. Travel as lightly as you can. Research well and take only what you absolutely need. GET FIT! Never too old. And if you cannot find the right person to do it with you, do it alone - so glad I did and never felt unsafe.
