General Comments

Amazingly well maintained track through many different terrains, always have to thank the volunteers, as well and rangers and employees and other hikers

Food/Supplies Comments

Nice to have lovely hot food in towns, but I can see anyone who can’t carry 400kms of food might struggle with resupply specifically in a town

Favourite Section

Blackwood into bailingup

Highlights

Mount Cooke of course… Sunset at Blackwood, following Dwellingup railway, meeting new friends

Personal Reactions

Just nice to be out in a form of wilderness and enjoy nature

Wildlife

Many kangaroos, only 2 snakes (for a snake track), mice (a given), no ticks, didn’t see whales

Your Best Equipment

Poncho/dry bag

Your Worst Equipment

Cheap rain pants/jacket (not worth the weight)
