General Comments

A wonderful experience - amazing how much you relax once you just leave the rest of the world behind!

Food/Supplies Comments

We made our own dehydrated meals - very simple and tasty if you have the equipment

Favourite Section

Peaceful Bay to Walpole for the variety of ecosystems that are walked through in the 4 days.

Highlights

The steak sandwich in the Northcliffe tavern!

Personal Reactions

I loved it - I really enjoyed the time that my partner and I spent together without the distractions of day to day life.

Wildlife

Wallabies, Tiger snakes, a dolphin and millions of red tailed cockatoos (are they really threatened?). Plus rats in the huts!

Your Best Equipment

My Mountain Designs sleeping mat. Wonderful value and great quality.

Your Worst Equipment

The Sea to Summit mat that it replaced, when it failed after two nights - expensive rubbish!

Advice for Others

Keep your mouth shut when your very organised partner is organising it all - and just enjoy the ride!
