General Comments

So fortunate to be part of this very special group, guided by Steve Sertis.  Loved every minute of being on the beautiful track and definitely wasn’t ready to finish when we reached Albany.

Food/Supplies Comments

Mostly dehydrated meals, mainly bean or lentil based.  Also sprouted seeds in small containers (broccoli and radish worked well).

Favourite Section

Woolbales to Long Point - dramatic change in scenery and amazing flowering wattle covering dunes.

Highlights

Views from hills, wading through the Pingrup Plains, swimming in freezing water.

Personal Reactions

Loved being in the zone and enjoying the scenery.  My tent feels like home.

Wildlife

Only one snake!  Lots of birds, a few kangaroos and an echidna.

Your Best Equipment

Umbrella (gossamer gear) - used for sun shade as well as rain.

Your Worst Equipment

Someone else’s noisy sleeping mat!
