General Comments

Food/Supplies Comments

DEFINITELY dehydrate your own meals. Back Country etc are terrible compared to what you can do yourself.

Favourite Section

Peaceful Bay - Walpole.

Highlights

Just…. everything.

Personal Reactions

Loved it.

Wildlife

Tonnes of birds, roos and wallabies.

Your Best Equipment

Walking poles and a comfy sleeping mat.

Your Worst Equipment

My old 80L pack…. its a brilliant pack, but weighing in at 3kg when empty is a little much…

Advice for Others

Cook and dehydrate your own food.
2 sets of clothes TOTAL - 1 x hiking, 1 x campsite/sleeping.
You do NOT need that many spare socks and undies!
Stop AS SOON as you feel a blister or hotspot coming on!!!
Carry fishing line to hang packs away from rodents.
Don’t pack it unless you absolutely need it
