General Comments

Great experience - loved meeting everyone on the track and teaching people how to play Monopoly Deal.

Food/Supplies Comments

Discovering deb was a game changer.
Don’t want to eat a snickers bar again!
We ate a lot of food and didn’t loose any weight.

Favourite Section

Coming off the coast into the Pingerup Plains sections

Highlights

Making new friends. Seeing the giants tingle trees in Pemberton and climbing the hills/ rocks/ mountains to get the best views.

Personal Reactions

We learnt how to be really good at doing nothing - other than walking, eating and sleeping.

We learnt that your feet will always hurt, but doesnt matter.

Wildlife

10 emus
6 snakes
50 kangaroos
10 wallabies
8 birds of prey
2 seals

Your Best Equipment

Butt foam matts - so good

Your Worst Equipment

My expensive inflatable sleeping mat was great, except that it got (count ‘em) 5 punctures.

Advice for Others

Hooks on the back of all toilet doors would be amazing. Saves females especially trying to awkwardly get changed whilst balancing on one foot.
