General Comments

Great feeling of achievement after an amazing experience on the Track which took me 45 days. The best thing I’ve done in Australia so far.  I met such lovely people along the way.

Food/Supplies Comments

No problems for find food. Every town get some supplies. Balingup is just a bit expensive that’s all.

Favourite Section

Walpole to Denmark

Highlights

Heavy rain, so very challenging but also the fact that you go from the amazing Tingle trees forest to the coast spectacular change of landscapes.

Personal Reactions

The DEC and volunteers making a great job to keep the Track so clean, easy to follow. Never seen before.
