Personal Reactions

So many interesting people hiking for all sorts of reasons.
The Bibbulmun Track was truly a unique experience, a treasure trove of memories. Was it…...
the billions of ants that walked the track daily?
the birdsong?
the fauna, flora or the coastline?
the interplay of light, shadow and wind?
the fascinating people you meet?
the wet socks and boots?
the end of day coffee or tea?
In fact, it was all the above and much,much more that makes the Bibbulmun experience so special to us all.

Wildlife

Coming from the Canadian Rocky Mountains everything was totally different and fascinating.

Your Best Equipment

Jet-boil for cooking/heating water.
