General Comments

Fantastic - time and energy well spent.

Food/Supplies Comments

Towns are adequately spaced to replenish food stocks.  Water was available at each campsite.

Favourite Section

Walpole to Denmark.

Highlights

Meeting fellow hikers and sharing shelters with them.  Impressive and varying scenery. Variety of wildlife.

Personal Reactions

Excited to do it and relieved to have finished.

Wildlife

Kangaroos, possums, bandicoots, whales, birds, lizards, snakes and copious flies and mozzies.

Your Best Equipment

Neoprene shearers belt - protected hips from backpack harness chaffing.

Your Worst Equipment

Motorcycle jacket between Collie and Pemberton - great for warmth but not 100% waterproof and very heavy when wet.

Advice for Others

Pack light, light and light - keep weight down to absolute minimum.
