General Comments

Found that all the shelters and most of the Track was very well maintained by both Vollies and DEC. The transition between sea to Karri/Jarrah was exciting. Well maintained Track great walk.

Food/Supplies Comments

Easy to buy supplies in town and posting a “town box” was a great idea with clean clothes etc.

Favourite Section

Donnelly River, Blackwood.

Highlights

Full moon at Waalegh. Waking up to cacophony of bird calls at Mt Clare. Just walking the Track was a highlight in itself.

Personal Reactions

Best thing I’ve ever done- challenge for the mind and body.

Wildlife

Snakes down south and kangaroos, emus, possums,quenda and a bush rat.
