General Comments
Great experience.
Amount of water on the Track was challenging at times.
Food/Supplies Comments
Supplied most of evening meals by dehydration and vacuum sealing own. Very effective. Lots of dried fruit and nuts and chocolate to keep me going during day.
Track towns great for comfort food.
Favourite Section
Albany Hwy to Dwellingup.
Highlights
Prolific wildflowers and the great people I met along the way.
Personal Reactions
Pleased at body response to the challenge both physically and mentally.
Wildlife
Plenty of kangaroos and snakes along south coast. Lots of evidence of echidnas and bandicoots but no sightings. Fantails were a constant companion.
Your Best Equipment
Walking poles saved me from falls on many occasions.
Your Worst Equipment
Backpack - old and heavy.
Advice for Others
Seek advice but be prepared to walk the Track to your own tune to enjoy it. i.e. don’t try to emulate others.
