General Comments

Relatively good weather for the time of year - no need for wading on the Pingerup Plains or the inlet crossings - dry boots nearly all the way.

Food/Supplies Comments

Generally bought food at the towns on the way, through be careful some places have limited supplies - with Peaceful Bay having literally nil track supplies.

Favourite Section

DRV to Albany.

Highlights

Nature - the wild life (birds, the numbers and varieties were so rewarding). The flowers were best, have never seen so; many before. Of course there was all the walking, crawling and standing - things that made this such a good walk.

Personal Reactions

Met so many nice and very interesting people on the Track - Thank you all!!
