General Comments

As I teenager I used to complain about living in such a “boring” part of the world. The Bibbulmun has taught me how astonishingly lucky I am to call Western Australia home. Thanks for one hell of an adventure!

Food/Supplies Comments

Dehydrated hummus works a treat.
Dehydrated scrambled eggs do not.

Favourite Section

Walpole to Denmark. So much variety!

Highlights

The steak I had in Walpole, the steak I had in Albany and the steak I had in Kalamunda.

Wildlife

Yet to see an echidna! Love the red tails.

Your Best Equipment

My ZPacks Duplex tent. So light and roomy.

Your Worst Equipment

Anything solar powered. Just forget it.

Advice for Others

Murdering your knees with an insanely heavy backpack shouldn’t be a source of pride. Learn to be a minimalist! Ultralight is not for everyone, but I see so many “traditional” hikers who carry so much weight that’s completely pointless, like glass jars and entire tons of Nescafe.
