General Comments
It is a privilege to walk on such a well designed, well maintained piece of wilderness. I always get mentally refreshed and physically fitter.
Travelling to and from each section walked required preparation and planning (where to leave cars, etc)
Food/Supplies Comments
Did only 3 - 7 day trips. Brought food from Perth. I found pre-cooked and died rice useful.
Favourite Section
Many, though to pick just one, probably West Cape How to Torbay.
Highlights
The first trip with my then 12 year old son. Soup on arrival, a camp-fire in the quiet peaceful evenings. To be away from television, computers, cars.
Personal Reactions
I hope it always stays pristine. Please do not commercialise it.
Wildlife
Not abundant. Often kangaroos, occasionally an emu, luckily no wild pigs and only 2 snakes.
Your Best Equipment
Trangia Cooker
Your Worst Equipment
While there was nothing wrong with the equipment, it was the lack of raincoat while walking in the pouring rain from Gregory Brook to Donnelly.
Advice for Others
Travel light.
