General Comments

I’m thankful for meeting interesting people along the way who were encouraging and enthusiastic. They inspired me to seek further adventure.

Food/Supplies Comments

Never underestimate the ‘hiker hunger’ you’ll experience.

Favourite Section

Giants to Walpole in the tingle forest.

Highlights

Making west toward the end of the day on the south coast and watching the sun setting. It was a magnificent sight.

Wildlife

Many snakes, birds, kangaroo, wallaby, emu.

Your Best Equipment

Hiking poles.

Advice for Others

Pack as light as you can. A heavy, uncomfortable pack slows you down and lowers moral. Also don’t pay too much attention if people say sections are really difficult, it often isn’t as hard as others make it out to be.
