General Comments
Some tough days, some easy days, some just great days, buy all in all a great experience.
Food/Supplies Comments
A great way to lose weight
Favourite Section
After crossin Wilson Inlet, I came into an area which is marked as Private Property, but part of the Bibbulmun Track. The path was mostly wide, shaded and a cool breeze blew off the water. Black Swans, Pelicans and other sea birds swam along the coastline and it felt so calm and tranquill.
Highlights
I guess the obvious one was reaching Albany and ringing the bell
Loved the Beach walks, but walking through the forest sections was great.
Personal Reactions
Took me 3 visits to WA to complete the track, but so worth it.
Wildlife
Geez the kangaroos here are big !! Only saw snakes on my last visit to the track, certainly stop you in your tracks though.
Had an interesting meeting with some feral pigs, who were not happy with me disturbing their wollow.
Your Best Equipment
My Keen Arroyo II hiking sandals, so comfortable.
The Far Out GPS Tracking App. Got me back on track if i missed a turn
Your Worst Equipment
Anything that I carried but didn’t need
Advice for Others
As above, when packing, think once then twice, if you really need to carry it.
