General Comments
A great experience and challenge in all sorts of ways.
Food/Supplies Comments
Despite good planning, delicious dehydrated food and fresh food at the towns we still lost weight (we didn’t need to) and needed to carry more!
Favourite Section
Northcliffe to Walpole
Highlights
The swim at Schafer Hut on a warm day.
Personal Reactions
A life changing experience. There was plenty of time for reflection and for gratitude to the Bibbulmun Track Foundation and their hard work to keep the track in such good condition.
Wildlife
We saw at least 50 snakes (mainly on the southern half), many blue wrens, emus, wallabies, kangaroos (of course), whales, eagles. Not to mention the flies and mosquitoes!
Your Best Equipment
Walking poles
Your Worst Equipment
My husband’s noisy mattress!
Advice for Others
Having variety in your food is a good idea as you spend a lot of time thinking about it!
