General Comments

The most amazing journey, just to be with nature and at peace with the world.  The shelters were really good and well maintained and the Track was well marked.

Food/Supplies Comments

Only take what is needed, give yourself treats.

Favourite Section

It was all great walking along the rivers.

Highlights

The lot!  Each night, wildflowers, people we met, fresh running rivers and creeks, the changing terrain.

Personal Reactions

I retired the week before we left, spent a wonderful 60 days with my husband.  Enjoyed the colour and peace of the bush.

Wildlife

Amazing what we saw, hubby has named them all on his information sheet.  Walking quietly in the morning, waking up to the bird chorus was amazing.

Your Best Equipment

My sticks, a comfortable backpack and a warm sleeping bag.

Your Worst Equipment

Knives & forks purchased from America.

Advice for Others

Do your homework re food, clothing, cooking and sleeping equipment.  Ours worked out really well and I encourage you all to do it.
