General Comments

What an amazing journey! I didn’t see the days flying. The Track was in excellent condition. It was great to be able to sleep in a shelter every night. The scenery was stunning!

Food/Supplies Comments

Miscalculated my food quantity for the sections between Kalamunda and Dwellingup. But otherwise I had no problem to get supplies at every town I came across.

Favourite Section

Frankland to Giants.

Highlights

The first sight of the coast. Walking for 10 days without seeing a town. The wildlife. The Karri forest. The night walk in heavy rain. The great people I met all along the Track.

Personal Reactions

The walk changed my sight on the world.

Wildlife

Loads of kangaroos, and so many different species of birds. Loved the cute noiseless hunter possums.

Your Best Equipment

My auto inflatable mattress.

Your Worst Equipment

My supposed to be ‘waterproof’ rain jacket.

Advice for Others

Don’t hesitate to take lots of chocolate with you.
