General Comments
Excellent walking over the whole length of the Track with outstanding forest and coastal sections. Always well maintained. Rubbish only seems to appear after school groups have used a section/camp site.
Food/Supplies Comments
Always carry dehydrated food. Gas or meths stoves the best. Tuna in foil packs.
Favourite Section
Very hard choice. Tom Road to Boarding House, Boarding House to Beavis, Beedelup to Pemberton.
Highlights
Good company doing walks with friends. Meeting other walkers along the way. Country hotels at the end of walking sections of 4-6 days. Excellent shelters in great locations.
