General Comments
What a fantastic experience. I have been trying to do an end to end for the past 10 years and have finally achieved my goal. I loved every minute and the people we met were all great with some words of wisdom and encouragement.
Food/Supplies Comments
My daughter organised food drops of the dehydrated meals we had prepared, we ate like queens.
Favourite Section
Kalamunda - Dwellingup - Pemberton.
Highlights
Seeing Mandalay Beach (Southern Ocean) for the first time. Swimming in Lake Maringup. Seeing all the different wildflowers in flower, how special.
Personal Reactions
Coastal walking is not my cup of tea, I prefer a canopy overhead and something firm underfoot.
Wildlife
We saw emus, quendas, snakes, kangaroos, goannas and the birds were in brilliant form every morn to wake us (kookaburras, parrots).
Your Best Equipment
Tent in the south (mozzies) Gaitors - peace of mind from snake bites.
Advice for Others
You’re never too old to try new experiences and keep going to the end its never too far away with a little determination.
