General Comments

Took 7 weeks for my first E 2 E but 2 1/2 years for this one.  Difficult to do in sections.  Fitness level not so good.  A lot of my sectional has been done walking school groups.

Food/Supplies Comments

Dehydrated my own and posted ahead to local Tourist Bureaus.

Favourite Section

The Jarrah Forests - but I love the entire track!

Highlights

New years Eve 2002 spent at Yabberup with my 15 year old grand daughter.
New Years Eve 2004 spent at Donnelly River with Charmaine, Steve, Trish & Dene.

Personal Reactions

Totally under the “Bibbulmun Spell” - always planning my next walk.

Wildlife

SNAKES!!!!  and the over friendly emu that followed our school group from Sullivans Rock towards Mount Cooke for about 4 km.

Your Best Equipment

Trekking poles.

Your Worst Equipment

Anything that did not work well, I got rid of during my first E 2 E.

Advice for Others

Take each day as it comes and laugh!  Make it fun.  Go with people who have a good sense of humour.
