General Comments
A far more challenging track than I expected. Beginning in Albany, you walk the first 200 km in sandy conditions, which is really hard for the hips.
Western Australian winter is like a normal Danish summer.
Food/Supplies Comments
I am surprised how little I ate. And how good powder food actually tastes, once you get used to it.
Favourite Section
Karri forests ate amazing - especially the Gloucester Tree.
Highlights
The shelters are incredible. Knowing that you can sleep in a dry place every day, makes you care less about the rain.
The longest time I saw nobody was 3 days.
Personal Reactions
Walking the Bibbulmun Track gave me my high school body back.
“If you can’t stand being alone, it is because you’re in bad company”.
Wildlife
I wonder how the first white people thought , first time they stood in front of a 180 cm kangaroo on an animal track - I bet they ran!!!
Your Best Equipment
My walking sticks made me swim butterfly up the sandy hills, south.
Your Worst Equipment
The zipper in my sleeping bag broke in 1-2 Celsius cold.
Advice for Others
Take your time and choose a down sleeping bag for winter walk.
