General Comments

Great shelters, a treat each when finishing the hike! Well marked, easy to follow just the odd guessing in the dunes.

Favourite Section

Dwellingup would have been a nasty supply but I got a ride to Pinjarra. All other one as good as expected.

Highlights

Pingerup Plains (with dry feet) and the coast. As for most people hitting the beaches. But also the first snakes, the swims in rivers, lakes and oceans. And the roos still put a big smile on my face at the end of the hike.

Personal Reactions

Maybe not as emotional as I had done a 800+ km hike through the Pyrenees already.

Wildlife

Lots of roos, emus, couple of snakes and birds all over.

Your Best Equipment

ebook reader and good boots.

Your Worst Equipment

Can’t think of one - my equipment seems fine.

Advice for Others

Bring at least the inner tent for fly protection.
