General Comments

Beaut track. Liked getting back into the bush, not having to worry about bills,  fuel or whats for dinner. Simplicity of life. E2E2E with Munda Biddi.

Food/Supplies Comments

Got sick of peanuts. Dehydrated food all has the same texture!

 

Favourite Section

Northcliffe to Pemberton.

Highlights

Loved the sections in the bush, tall trees all around. Getting to the campsite each day. Meeting new people. Everyone friendly.

Personal Reactions

Didn’t lose any weight, but opened up lots of new experiences and opportunities.

Wildlife

Saw more kangaroos then people. Two snakes and lots of drop-bears.

Your Best Equipment

Walking sticks - free - found on the track.

Your Worst Equipment

Sleeping bag - buy a warmer one.

Advice for Others

Don’t over plan. South - north is good. But do prepare physically and mentally.
