General Comments
An excellent Track/facilities. Very much appreciated the experience, albeit bit by bit. Giving special feel, respect and achievement along with social aspect, sharing with like minded down to earth people.
Food/Supplies Comments
Difficult to get adventurous with variety given the need of dehydrated lightweight - I do love my fresh food at least 2-3 days. Do love cuppa soups.
Favourite Section
South coast.
Highlights
Seeing upto 15 dolphins swimming/surfing through a large wave at Quarram/Boat Harbour beach area. 6 kms into West Cape Howe in vicious storm blasting wind, rain and hail - yuk yuk.
Personal Reactions
Loved the beauty of the nature, breathing pure fresh air, inspiring for healthy physical exercise and meeting like-minded people.
Wildlife
I love and respect beautiful snakes - did not see many. Wary of and hate ticks, love chirpy birds, hate mice especially squealing nest under floor.
Your Best Equipment
Flat fold bucket to Radox soak feet at the end of the day.
Your Worst Equipment
Damp matches, empty gas cylinders, bad fitting shoes.
Advice for Others
Always plan and prepare appropriately, practise packing , do muscle stretches start and end of day walk. Enjoy sharing experiences/hints, stories with others.
