General Comments

Three cheers for the Bibb Track! A trail made exclusively for walkers is a rare and precious thing in this car-obsessed world. Thanks to all Bibb Track workers and volunteers for making this great resource available.

Food/Supplies Comments

Have belatedly discovered the joys of dehydrating our own food. Piles of fruit and veg in a small bag. Marvellous.

Favourite Section

The Pingarup Plains in autumn. Walpole to Peaceful Bay in spring. All footpaths and non-vehicle tracks.

Highlights

One of the highlights of each day: That first glimpse of the hut roof through the trees after a long hot walk.

Personal Reactions

Next time I’m doing this in one go!

Wildlife

Amazing birds, enormous snakes, ‘roos and bandicoots and emus and….

Your Best Equipment

My wonderful no-frills, light-weight Deuter’s ladies backpack. Fits like a glove and at 60l volume encourages minimalist packing.

Your Worst Equipment

Can’t think of anything….

Advice for Others

Walking the Bibb Track is addictive! You’ve been warned.
