Food/Supplies Comments
I dehydrated all my own food and did food drops before I started. I could resupply things like gas etc in all of the track towns.
Favourite Section
Tall tree country - around Pemberton.
Highlights
Lake Maringup. Viewing a stunning sunset and sunrise from my bed, with the sound of the ocean in the background.
Personal Reactions
I wish I could do this every year. I am the best me when I hike, and the Bibb is rather addictive.
Wildlife
Surprisingly not a lot. Even the birds were quiet some days.
Your Best Equipment
SPOT. My family knew where I was each day, and I had the comfort of knowing help was at hand should I need it.
Your Worst Equipment
Poncho. It was a struggle to get it on when it starts raining and by the time I had managed to put it on, the rain was gone.
Advice for Others
Just do it - a cliche. Go out and do it; it will change you but prepare well. It’s heartbreaking to see someone going into this adventure with enthusiasm but little preparation, just to have to give up after a week or two due to avoidable injuries.
