General Comments
Walking in summer was an opportunity to enjoy wonderful peace and tranquility. I had 80% of the shelters to myself. I enjoyed reading the log book entries and relating my experiences to those who had gone before me.
Food/Supplies Comments
I learnt from experience having a little too much is preferable to having not enough.

Don’t carry anything you “may” need sometime. Carry essential items only. Watch for snakes on the track and remain vigilant for those waugals indicating left or right.
