General Comments

On Walpole to Denmark 2009 I suffered a common nerve problem - Bells Palsey - but completed the walk. A friend wanted to do this section so I repeated it in 2011. I walked from Kalamunda to Gringer Creek, Pemberton on my own and had friends with me on the other sections.

Food/Supplies Comments

I found it inconvenient to get a disposable gas can in Midland as none is available in Kalamunda if coming by plane and starting the Track the same day ( no gas permitted on plane)

Favourite Section

Probably Walpole to Denmark, but I enjoyed the Karri Forest Balingup to Pemberton.

Personal Reactions

I did not intend to do End to End when I started, hence the southern half before I went to Kalamunda

Wildlife

Did not see a lot but the birds were very nice

Your Best Equipment

All good

Advice for Others

Keep packs light. Use a food dryer for cans tuna, chicken, baked beans, sardines etc and put in plastic jar of water in AM.
