General Comments
Thank you FOBT & CALM and will show it in giving time to volunteers.
Food/Supplies Comments
Never stinted and included port and chocolate. Organised food drops in all towns and Sullivan Rock.
Favourite Section
Denmark to Albany (especially ‘pack benches’).
Highlights
The people! Captain Chuditch, Keith, Sharon, Terry the Tortoise. The FRIENDS who would visit and walk bits with us. Graphiti Cafe and the walk along the Donnelly, Walpole to Frankland campsite, Lake Maringup, beach walking.
Personal Reactions
We drank rainwater every day, breathed fresh air everyday. Boy is it different in Perth and given “Sept 11” happened, on route met the most amazing generous people.
Wildlife
Flowers - amazing! Snakes - terrifying. Not as many fauna as I thought.
Your Best Equipment
Water bladder best as encourages fluid intake by not having to take the pack off.
Advice for Others
If you like to have fun and like your tucker - spend a lot of time planning your food and take your time! Have treats….eg port, helps sad days & better for you than metho.
