Food/Supplies Comments
Best bakery, Collie very close second to Walpole. Best pub meal - Dwellingup, best on Track meal, fresh sushi caught at Boat Harbour.
Favourite Section
Water walking the Northcliffe to Walpole section.
Highlights
Dwellingup Pub, Donnelly River Village, the beaches and the beautifully blue water. Fishing the last few sections. Meeting SO many great people.
Personal Reactions
Was my first through hike, won’t be my last.
Wildlife
Snakes, roos, rats and mice. Best memory though belongs to the 5 emu chicks that ran past my legs within easy reach.
Your Best Equipment
Altra Lone Peak 2.5 trail running shoes. Supa light and no blisters for 99 percent of the Track.
Your Worst Equipment
My glasses, broke and had to be taped and superglued at least 5 times.
Advice for Others
Do your research and hike as light as you choose to. Don’t let others tell you you’re too lite or too heavy, if you do the research you’ll be able to make that call yourself… but send home what you don’t use in the first week.
