General Comments

This journey was an all round learning curve. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Met exceptional people. Made new friends. Loved listening to all the trail stories. Seeing all the Flora and Fauna. Thanks to all the Volunteers, Bibbulmun Track Foundation, DPAW and especially my Wing man, Franky.

Food/Supplies Comments

Learnt to dehydrate my own food. Found making one pot casseroles is the simplest and lightest way to go.

Favourite Section

I can’t say I have a favourite, as all sections have their own appeal.

Highlights

Meeting people along the way when you have had no conversation for days and days.

Personal Reactions

My photos, and my stories of the trail will never give true justice to the Bibbulmun Track.  You must go out and experience this wonder.

Wildlife

Saw Kangaroos, Dolphins, Cheeky Quendas (love them), and Possums.

Your Best Equipment

Jetboil , and comfortable hiking boots.  My cheap washing line that I utilised for more than one purpose.

Your Worst Equipment

When learning, I felt the worst equipment was BAD ADVICE given by sales people that just want a sale…...

Advice for Others

Get out there and experience the Bibbulmun Track :-D
