    25th Anniversary Core Walker

General Comments

I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to complete this Celebration walk with a group of super humans.  Along the way we met dozens of wonderful people who contribute to the maintenance & welfare of the track in some way.

Food/Supplies Comments

We were very spoilt by Trail angels who surprised us on the track and delivered scones, jam & cream and other special treats such as soup, fruit cake, wine & nibbles.  We still ate all our track food though!!

Favourite Section

I can’t really decide on a favourite section because I have never been to WA so there was a “wow moment” for me every day.  The Tingle forest made me cry it is so beautiful and the majesty of coastline took my breath away.

Highlights

I was able to share a small section of this hike with my daughter Steph.
Seeing for the first time some of the most precious and delicate flora on our planet!!

Personal Reactions

Grateful I could participate in this celebration

Wildlife

Loved them all….Frogs, Black cockatoos, snakes, kangaroos, echidnas, seals, whales, bird life, lizards. Bloody fantastic!!

Your Best Equipment

I love my sleeping quilt

Your Worst Equipment

Happy with it all

Advice for Others

Have a crack at it. 
Visit all the little towns along the way if you need a break. Take the opportunity as these towns and their people are fantastic.
Take some time to “smell the roses”, stop and look around you!!
