General Comments
Providing you’re sensible, a summer end to end is possible. “Knowing the track” is extra security. A magnificent asset for our state that recommends” itself so easily by word of mouth”.
Food/Supplies Comments
Posted food boxes to towns and supplemented by purchasing extra supplies.
Favourite Section
Leafy paths through the tall timbers.
Highlights
Sunrise at Mazzoletti beach; the laughs and antics shared with FOF#2. Christmas Day at Schafer; New Years Day at Donnelly River Village, walking from 3am and listening to the forest wake up each morning; meeting other like-minded walkers.
Personal Reactions
Still a sense of awe and achievement, even after 4 times! Time disappeared far too quickly! We had a ball.
Wildlife
Roos, snakes, emus, skinks, bandicoots, wallabies, birds.
Your Best Equipment
Walking poles.
Advice for Others
Stay relaxed about it. Never believe anything is too daunting to start. Keep a journal and take lots of photos for memories.
