General Comments
What a fabulous adventure. We live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world and to have the Bibbulmun Track available is truly amazing. I have done the end-to-end in sections, over a period of 19 years (2003 - 2022), and it was worth it.
Food/Supplies Comments
I take a very basic approach - commercial dried food, muesli bars, chocolate, fruit. Try to keep it light. I find I want to eat plenty after walking sections but during the walks am fairly consistent.
