General Comments

Doing end to end on the Bibbulmun track has been a bucket list item for sometime. I had made plans to do it in March 2022 but it had to be put on hold for another year. And now here I am and its all done. What an incredible journey. The track delivered and worked its magic. What an incredible asset this is for WA. Thank you Bibbulmun Foundation and I have enormous appreciation to all the amazing volunteers who maintain this amazing track.

Food/Supplies Comments

Pleased I took the time to make some of own favourite’s this was comforting on cold nights or on the tougher days.

Favourite Section

Unable to really choose a favourite. Each section had something special to look at or enjoy and there was always a challenge to be conquered in each section.

Highlights

Seeing the Southern Ocean! The achievement of making it to this point and the feeling of “I’m nearly home”

Personal Reactions

Grateful to have had the time to switch off from the very busy normal day to day and enjoy the whole track in its entirety. Saying yes, to this challenge has pushed me to achieve so much more than I could have imagined.

Wildlife

Seeing 2 echidnas in 1 day. And so many beautiful birds

Your Best Equipment

Hiking Poles

Advice for Others

Take the time to sit quietly and regularly this is when you see so much more. And take the time to explore the extra trails or spurs there is always an unexpected suprise at the end!
