General Comments

An inspiring Track that most certainly highlights the different terrains of WA.

Food/Supplies Comments

Brought a Jetboil for primary cooking, but a Pocket Rocket would give much more variety for meals.

Favourite Section

Monadnocks to Nerang. Amazing views!

Highlights

We were unaware of the orchids until Bill and Byron taught us what to look out for. With so many different varieties, the orchid hunt made our walk that much more beautiful!

Personal Reactions

Hiking the Bib I met amazing people I will never forget. Our initial common ground made us lifelong friends.

Wildlife

We found that although intimidating the tigers (snakes) were never once aggressive towards us.

Your Best Equipment

Snake gaiters for sure!

Your Worst Equipment

Body glide - never needed it.

Advice for Others

Take your time, its about the journey not the destination.
