General Comments

I was surprised by the daily variety and changes on the walk. I was also impressed by the track maintenance and marking.

Food/Supplies Comments

Food supplies were no real problem after Dwellingup. From then on we had a good idea of what we needed.

Favourite Section

The whole walk is a wonder though I felt that walking through the forests was equivalent to being in a cathedral.

Highlights

Boonering Hill, Chadoora, Murray River camp, and all the morning and evening birdsong.

Personal Reactions

Having a silent mind in a forest of birdsong gives one both joy and humility. I am also very proud to have done the whole walk and grateful for the help provided us.

Wildlife

The birds and reptiles were a constant presence.

Your Best Equipment

Our tent.

Your Worst Equipment

Shoes, slightly too small, (Probably my 60 yr old feet !)

Advice for Others

Beware of overbuying in towns. Don’t rush.
