General Comments
I commenced walking the Bib in the mid 90’s. When I retired I decided to stay in every shelter on the Track (several I walked through) so it was a commitment before my knees the gave.
Food/Supplies Comments
I always carried dried food from home.
Favourite Section
Giants in the Walpole area.
Highlights
Crossing the Irwin Inlet, wading Parry Inlet after rain, the Frankland campsite and walking through the karri forests.
Personal Reactions
Proud to have finally walked the Track, also proud of our “world class” walking track.
Wildlife
Loved disturbing the occasional snake. Saw a quokka near Donnelly River Village and a turtle depositing eggs.
Your Best Equipment
Sleeping mat - it was top quality.
Your Worst Equipment
A plastic mug - they melt.
Advice for Others
Invest in the best kit - including a pillow.
