General Comments

Loved my second end to end just as much as my first. Perhaps a third?

Food/Supplies Comments

Apart from dehydrated main meal, I purchased food in the track towns this time. It worked well.

Favourite Section

Three sections for different reasons.
The Perth hills in the north.
The middle undulating section. Farmland and trees!
The ocean with its amazing scenery and snakes.

Highlights

The people I met along the way. Lots more out there now. 
The challenges encountered at times. You never really know what the day will bring.

Personal Reactions

I can see myself doing it again!

Wildlife

I have decided that I don’t hate snakes after all. Plenty of encounters and they were all well behaved.

Your Best Equipment

My poles. They saved me from falls many times.

Your Worst Equipment

My blow up pillow. Ended up using my jacket.

Advice for Others

Do some training and do your research. Appropriate equipment is essential. Go for it!
