General Comments
Journey of a lifetime! I’m hooked on long distance trails now. I’ll be back Australia!
Food/Supplies Comments
No complaints. Good $ in towns. Wish the smaller track towns advertised their stock so you could plan ahead and know if they will have good food supplies/fuel.
Favourite Section
Long Point because my sister has also walked there.
Highlights
Sitting on Long Point and watching the waves. Seeing an Osprey tear apart a fish. Having Cockatoos rain nuts down on me while they eat. Falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean. Waking up to the birds. Night hiking. And the friends I meet on the trail.
Personal Reactions
Awe.
Wildlife
Too many to count. And still need to identify a few birds and insects.
Your Best Equipment
Hammock.
Your Worst Equipment
Plastic sporks. I broke 2.
Advice for Others
Plan more time. You’ll want to take it all in and experience the trail, see the track towns, do the spur trails and stay a day at a campsite every once in awhile. If it’s not about the time for you than just experience the trail. I wish I had more time.
