General Comments
What an amazing resource we have in the Bibbulumn Track. I loved the trip and highly recommend it to anyone.
Food/Supplies Comments
Dehydrated all my evening meals and made porridge packs for breky, worked really well. Had someone post packs to me along the way.
Favourite Section
Walpole to Denmark
Highlights
Getting to the coast, after all that time inland. Having my husband join me for the last week. Meeting different people along the way.
Personal Reactions
I personally feel a significant change it my level of internal calmness, since having completed the track. I found it to be like a walking meditation. I enjoyed walking alone but relished the company of meeting others in the evening.
Wildlife
Not as much as I had thought there might be: kangaroos, emus, lots of birds, 9 snakes, lizards, quokkas, seals.
Your Best Equipment
I absolutely loved my Black Diamond Ultra Light walking sticks and my 4 point tie mozzie net!
Your Worst Equipment
My sleeping bag was woefully inadequate for the temperatures I experienced…but that was due to poor planning on my behalf, I got confused and took the wrong one with me!
Advice for Others
There is a part of the track for absolutely everyone, a little bit, or all of it. If there is any possible way you can make the time, take the opportunity to get out there and do it, you won’t regret it. Pack light, wear good shoes and socks and give yourself little treats on the way!
