General Comments
So great to have such an excellent track in our home state. This allowed us the adventure of a sectional end-to-end. We enjoyed 17 different “Bib holidays” to complete the whole track.
Food/Supplies Comments
Vicki’s home-made dehydrated meals were awesome!
Favourite Section
There was no one standout section - they all have their own beauty & experience.
Highlights
I loved the open Jarrah woodlands, the tall Karri trees, the campfires, the coastal views, walking the southern beaches, the remoteness of the Pingarup Plains, the foggy mornings at Waalegh & Blackwood, meeting an awesome variety of other hikers, and walking every step with my wife & best friend Vicki.
Personal Reactions
It was a great adventure, and one we could embark on during those tough covid years when we couldn’t leave WA. It was good to engage in a new way in a life-long passion for being in nature, and to hone our hiking equipment & skills from one outing to the next, as we learnt from other hikers and our own experiences.
Wildlife
I think my favourite was the red-tailed black cockatoos.
Your Best Equipment
My Optimus Crux Lite cooking set.
Your Worst Equipment
Everything I started with on our first overnight section! We progressively replaced everything over the 17 outings of our sectional end to end.
Advice for Others
Walk the track your own way, and enjoy the journey!
