General Comments
It was a fantastic adventure; I loved the diversity of the country I walked through, from the jarrah forest in the north, the spectacular karri forest and gobsmacking Great Southern Ocean. The Track is in a great condition and the shelters are just the bees’ knees! The volunteers supporting this Track is commendable, they do a fantastic job.
Food/Supplies Comments
I posted food supplies to 5 track town post offices, poste restante, that I picked up on my way to Albany. Most of the track towns have good fresh food supplies that I stocked on, nothing like avocado and Gouda cheese on a rye biscuit for the first two days’ lunch!
Favourite Section
There are a lot of great sections on the Track, but I loved the karri forest around Pemberton, absolutely spectacular to walk through the “Cardinals” of the forest. Walking onto Mandalay Beach was my favourite, I love the Ocean!!
Highlights
Covered in favourite section.
Personal Reactions
Just love nature and the serenity that the Track affords me to enjoy nature.
Wildlife
Lots and lots of Australian night life, best time to enjoy them is early in the morning when the sun comes up, don’t sleep in, you will miss it all.
Your Best Equipment
Scarpa boots, no blisters the entire Track!
Your Worst Equipment
I can’t say I had any.
Advice for Others
Enjoy your experience on the Track!!
