General Comments
I started my 1st E2E last April but had to go home on urgent family matters leavinf the Track at the Mumbelup Tavern. I decided to start again at Kalamunda as I wanted to do an unbroken E2E. The 1st attempt proved to be a good practice as I upgraded some gear for the 2nd.
Food/Supplies Comments
Glad I arranged seven mail parcels to myself along the way as I found the food I like very hard to get.
Favourite Section
The Tingle trees and the forests they live in.
Highlights
The Tree-top walk, after weeks of walking around and climbing over fallen trees, it was great to walk through tops. It gave a whole new perspective.
Wildlife
Lots of kanfaroos and emus with many snakes towards the end. A great many small birds too.
Your Best Equipment
Jet-boil and Exped mattress, Mountain Design backpack.
Your Worst Equipment
North Face Hedgehog shoes - not waterproof.
