General Comments

I strongly believe that walkers should buy their supplies from the local shops on the way.

Food/Supplies Comments

All supplies necessary were available locally.

Favourite Section

Blackwood to Gregory Brook.

Highlights

The boulders at White Horse Hills, Mt Wells campsite, the karri & tingle forests; walking along the rivers, sunrise at Lake Maringup.

Personal Reactions

Great to wake with the birds (I just love those open shelters) and be on the Track with the first horizontal slants of the sunlight against the trees.

Wildlife

Less than expected.

Your Best Equipment

Pegless clothes line, lightweight camera.

Advice for Others

Keep your packs light - some of the scramblings up soft sand dunes and down amongst the boulders (Mt Hallowell) are much harder with heavy packs.
