General Comments
The track was well marked and mostly well cleared. The efforts of the volunteers and DEC are appreciated. I enjoyed the hills and the beaches, but not the dune walking. The only real problem was the Denmark to Nullaki section which has been destroyed by development.
Food/Supplies Comments
The water tastes so good. On some of the longer sections, and intermediate toilet and water tank would be a nice luxury.
Favourite Section
Tom Road to Boarding House.
Highlights
Sleeping on top of the rock behind Woolbales shelter, on a hot summer’s night. Overlooking the plains and Broke Inlet with not a single man made object visible 360 deg over many kms.
Personal Reactions
I walked it on my own, but enjoyed the company of others who I walked alongside or met at the shelters.
Wildlife
Once a wallaby charged out of the undergrowth and straight into my thighs, it would have been a good tackle if he had been bigger.
Your Best Equipment
My “free” Balga walking sticks which I found near Beraking. Hopefully they are now on their way back with someone else. I left them at Hidden Valley.
Your Worst Equipment
My Thermos, I got rid of it at the first opportunity.
Advice for Others
Concentrate on reducing the weight of your pack. Anything not used in the first week should be sent home.
