General Comments
Incredible trail with great facilities! A magnificent way to experience the South West!
Food/Supplies Comments
We prepared most of our own food, did our own food drops on the drive to Albany. We topped up with fresh food in the track towns! Favourite town food was the pies at Mushroom Cafe in Balingup!
Favourite Section
Walpole to Peaceful Bay. I really enjoyed the diversity of the large Tingle Trees and the coast line!
Highlights
Watching whales from the coastline, Eagles soaring in thermals above Mt Wells, the people we met along the way!
Personal Reactions
It is a rare to be able to spend so long with not much else on the agenda other than eat, sleep, walk, repeat and just enjoy the experience. It was awesome to be able to spend that time reflecting on experiences so far and what is still to come!
Wildlife
Whales, Dolphins, Bandicoots and birds! So many Birds!
We didn’t see a snake until our very last day!
Your Best Equipment
My Topo trail runners! Light weight, comfortable and quick drying! Very important in the wet trip we had!
Your Worst Equipment
Worst for the trip was my back pack, I love it for other expeditions however is too heavy for thru-hiking.
Advice for Others
Don’t get stuck on your plans, be ready to be adaptable, have fun!
