General Comments

What a wonderful, personal growth experience the Bibbulmun Track offered me.  I walked with Leigh, John, Ian, Bill, Gaz and Sue (Rae Team) and Jim all at different times.  The support they gave was much appreciated , especially from Leigh and John, for without them I could be still out there walking the Track.

Food/Supplies Comments

I found my own dehydrated food to be the best choice but mostly cooked up pasta with add ins.

Favourite Section

My favorite section was one of the remotest in the southern section being between Maringup and Dog Pool walking through the Pingerup Plains. It simply took my breath away.

Highlights

The companionship once in camp and the many nights under the stars, especially at Blackwood.

Personal Reactions

I feel indebted to both the Foundation, DPaW and the many volunteers who do such a wonderful job of looking after the Track.

Wildlife

My happy memories are of seeing birds, kangaroos and echidnas.  My unhappy memories are of seeing wild pigs.

Your Best Equipment

My Deuter slimline backpack.

Your Worst Equipment

My pillow.

Advice for Others

Just do it.
