General Comments

Great walk - the eastern jarrah, karri, coast - beautiful.  The tears flowed after reaching the south coast being so close to home.

Food/Supplies Comments

I never EVER want to eat Surprised peas & noodles again - till my next hike .

Favourite Section

Kalamunda to Dwellingup and Peaceful to Albany, Nullaki.

Highlights

Seeing quokkas, sharing the experience with two great friends, Surf & Turf at Dwellingup. Watching the sky filled with stars burning brightly from my tent.

Personal Reactions

Life is too short to worry. Life is too long to wait. Its too short not to do everything and life is too long to hate.

Wildlife

Quendas, quokkas, roos, thousands of birds, 8 wedge tail eagles on Boonerring Hill, snakes (lots) emu, bats, rats & mice.

Your Best Equipment

My Leki hiking poles & MSR tent.

Your Worst Equipment

My sherpa! (Never turned up).

Advice for Others

Take a tent experience, the stars - you can sleep inside for the rest of your life. Be flexible, pitch a tent, experience the best part of WA (big claim I know) with your home on your back.
