General Comments

Wonderful experience only disappointment is not having been possible to do end to end without a break.  My grateful thanks to all who have made the Track possible.

Favourite Section

South coast - especially ocean and coastal views.

Highlights

Opportunity to be accompanied with friends (some from other states of Australia) on many sections.

Personal Reactions

Wonderful feeling to have completed in time for my 77th birthday and especially having had my wife’s assistance.

Wildlife

A serious highlight at various sections.

Your Best Equipment

My old Paddy Palin steel framed back pack - fantastic piece of gear.

Advice for Others

Do it! - when opportunity permits.  But prepare well and seek advice if in doubt - there are problems if one doesn’t prepare well.
