General Comments
Fantastic track. Well organized with shelters, water and toilets.
Poorly signposted across the plains.
Food/Supplies Comments
Good resupply possibilities in towns. I regularly carried too much food. DRV has a delightful general store.
Favourite Section
Walpole to Denmark.
Highlights
Seeing the ocean for the first time. The majestic karri and tingle forests. Wildflowers and animal life.
Personal Reactions
I had no idea there was so much wilderness in SW WA. At one stage it was five days without seeing another person.
Wildlife
Heaps. Snakes, echidnas, roos, wallabies, lizards, emus, birds…..
Your Best Equipment
My hiking sticks, my self-supporting tent.
Your Worst Equipment
My ‘good’ shoes, that imploded after 35 days.
