General Comments

A great Track. I look forward to visiting some of my favourite spots and perhaps even volunteering.

Food/Supplies Comments

We supplied our own food in advance and mailed ahead - worked very well.

Favourite Section

Pingerup Plains - unusual plants in an almost unearthly landscape - truly unique and fascinating.

Personal Reactions

Very hard to resume the walk after it was interrupted in 2005 by an unexpected death in the family, but glad we did.

Wildlife

We saw quenda at three different campsites - a real treat.

Your Best Equipment

Walking sticks and super lightweight backpack.

Your Worst Equipment

All good - even the 30 year old camping stove!

Advice for Others

Avoid large school groups if possible. While generally polite, they really take over and are hard to avoid. Don’t ‘Double hut’ - enjoy the flowers!
