General Comments
We met so many voluntary maintainers on the Track. Its unbelievable - they drive more than 800km to clean up after prescribed burns. (Schafer campsite). They really do a great job. Thanks so much!
Food/Supplies Comments
We resupplied in the general stores at the track towns. Also Balingup and Donnelly River Village is basic. No reason for food drops.
Favourite Section
Denmark to Walpole.
Highlights
Wedge-tailed eagles at Boonerring Hill. Coffee in the food box at Dog Pool shelter.
