General Comments

The track is a wonderful resource for Western Australia - a great way to see the South West as well!

Food/Supplies Comments

Oats, tuna and 2-min noodles over and over and over. Definitely going to make use of dehydrated food next time!

Favourite Section

Walpole to Denmark! Nornalup Inlet into the Tingle Forrest to seeing the ocean for the first time is an amazing feeling.

Highlights

Passing the halfway point with my mate Dayne and walking the last 15km into Albany with mum!

Personal Reactions

The Bibb takes from you what you don’t need and shows you what you do need, in all aspects.

Wildlife

Everything! Kangaroos, emus, echidnas, lizards and snakes! Snakes get such a bad rap but they’re incredibly shy creatures.

Your Best Equipment

Everything - each piece of equipment becomes so important for it’s own purpose.

Your Worst Equipment

Mozzie net! Only because I was already using a tent.

Advice for Others

Do a practice overnight with all your equipment or learn as you go! Taking the first step is the most important.
