General Comments

I am so grateful that a track like this exists and so close to home.  Thanks to everyone involved in its inception, creation and maintenance.  One of the most valuable experiences of my life.

Food/Supplies Comments

I found it doable without food drops, using townsite facilities which were excellent.

Favourite Section

White Horse Hill

Highlights

The transition to White Horse Hills, all coastal views, camping on Mt Clare and the stars and sunrise, meeting fellow walkers and town dwellers during my journey

Personal Reactions

It was out of my comfort zone, so to do the whole track was a big thing for me.

Wildlife

A highlight was being greeted by an owl on the way to Boarding house, just after a steep climb
