General Comments

Keep motor bikes and cars off the Track.  A big thankyou to all those people who have helped make the Track a reality.

Food/Supplies Comments

We posted food parcels out to various towns. North Bannister has very little food available.

Favourite Section

Donnelly River Village to Northcliffe.

Highlights

The people we met on the Track.  The great peace and healing that comes upon a person after a few days on the Track.

Personal Reactions

The Track is a place that is sacred and very special.

Wildlife

Great to see all the wildlife and talk to the possums who live around some of the campsites.

Your Best Equipment

Old Mountain Design backpack.

Your Worst Equipment

None.  All my gear has been OK.

Advice for Others

Travel light do some training, break you boots in well, treat hot spots straight away.  Chill out and take your time, carry a tent.
