General Comments

End to End
I can’t believe that I have completed the bibluman track. From when I was a 10 I couldn’t wait to walk the whole thing and Now at 18 I know I have. This last month and a half has been some ups and downs but I have keep on fighting and moving forward. Thanks to everyone that I have meet alone the way supporting me. I can say that with out the Bibluman track community I could not of achieved this end to end.
I have come sooo far but the journey has just begun.

Food/Supplies Comments

I wanted to challenge myself and I did the track on a vegan diet (No animal products) after my mum told me i couldn’t do it. The first days where hard I overpacked I started with a 30 kg pack and got it down to 20kg - 18kg.

Favourite Section

My my favourite section was along the coast love watching the waves Break onto rocks and a long rolling sand Junes.

Highlights

Walking into Denmark was the best experience going there for holidays as a kid and seeing people walking the track, knowing that I have walked from Perth there.

Personal Reactions

Just finishing school and going into the bush was a bit of a challenge, I was taking responsibility for myself

Wildlife

saw a lot of alive and dead things along the way. even ended up stepping on a baby Dugite. Also almost go into a fight with a kangaroo

Your Worst Equipment

my walking sticks were $20 and every time touched the ground with them, they went “Bong” it go really annoying.
