General Comments

We did some sections two or more times.  A number of shelters we only stayed over one night, especially in the beginning.  I also did the 25th Anniversary walk - Albany to Denmark - plus one other Bibbulmun event.

Food/Supplies Comments

We learnt heaps of info from other people - pack light.  I dehydrate my own food due to food intolerances.

Favourite Section

Donnelly River to Pemberton and Walpole to Peaceful Bay.

Highlights

Peace, scenery and shelters.  Cheap holiday and getting fit also enjoying starlight nights - sunshine and rainy days.  Nature at its best.

Personal Reactions

Very grateful we have access to such a walk.  Grateful to all those who make possible.

Wildlife

I would like to see more but I am too noisy, but saw lots.

Your Best Equipment

Salomon hiking boots, Trangia and GPS and maps.

Your Worst Equipment

Tent and rain gear.

Advice for Others

Seize the opportunity.  If you cannot do it in one go - do it in sections. Pack light. Watch out for the waugals
