General Comments

Thanks to Zack the trip was all that it could have been. Everyone from Perth should do the Track at least once in their life.

Food/Supplies Comments

Donnelly River Village sold us a gas cannister that would fit no head I have ever come across.

Favourite Section

Too many good ones. Probably somewhere between Balingup and Northcliffe if I was forced to choose.

Highlights

Night fall at Beavis campsite. The first view of the Southern Ocean.

Personal Reactions

A desire to delve deep into heavy philosophical inquiry regarding the nature of life, the universe and everything.

Wildlife

Wildflowers were amazing (especially the 13 different orchids we spotted). Snakes between our feet kept us on our toes.

Your Best Equipment

My Zamberlain 480 Zephir boots, oh and the mattress foam around my hips.

Your Worst Equipment

Synthetic shirt - even ones designed for trekking.

Advice for Others

Wear in those boots, take good blister care - don’t buy supplies along the way.
