General Comments
A wonderful experience. Two short sections between Walpole and Denmark wetted my appetite for more. A third from Albany to Denmark confirmed it. Five weeks between Walpole and Kalamunda was sublime. The scenery, landscape, flora and fauna were aweinspiring
Food/Supplies Comments
I was very fortunate my lovely wife, Kathryn, ensured I was well supplied with nourishing foods and other essentials along the way.
Favourite Section
Mt Chance to Woolbales
Highlights
So many! Rugged beauty of the southern coast. Majestic tall forests. tranquillity of the bush. The hills valley, rivers and creeks. The impressive sunsets, starry nights and breaking dawns.
Personal Reactions
A personal journey on many levels, which provided nourishment for the body and soul. I loved the serenity and solitude. I learnt a greater appreciation of nature and the beautiful south-west. I also acquired a deeper admiration and respect for those that came before me, the explorers and the settlers, but must importantly, the Aboriginal people who roamed the areas, in harmony with ;nature for thousands of years! Naturally my thanks and gratitude to all hard working volunteers for the upkeep of the Track.
Advice for Others
It is the journey, not the destination that matters most.
