Suprised at the absence of sightings of wildlife in the northern section, but loved watching the cockatoos, close encounters with kangaroos and the visiting marsupials at some of the campsites

Hiking pole and gas cooker.
Advice for Others
If possible keep your feet clean and dry especially when walking on hot days, take your boots and socks off and give your feet and socks a chance to dry out.
