General Comments
Great to meet so many different Bibb walkers along the way. A strong sense of track camaraderie exists. On each visit we looked forward to meeting some of the regular track walkers that we had met previously.
Food/Supplies Comments
Loved getting to track towns and checking out the food at the local pubs and cafes. Loved Mumby Pub.
Favourite Section
Dwellingup to Balingup.
Highlights
The first campsite I stayed at (Blackwood near Balingup) was initially my worst as I struggled to come to terms with walking long distances with a heavy pack (not being an overnight bushwalker). Now I look back and I feel it is my favourite shelter.
Personal Reactions
Initially it was very difficult getting used to sleeping rough each night. However over time I gradually got into the groove of shelter life and enjoyed the simplicity of being on the Track each day.
Wildlife
Snakes, kangaroos, black cockatoos and seals (near Peaceful Bay). Favourite wildlife was the motorbike frogs at Maringup campsite.
Your Best Equipment
Comfortable walking shoes.
Your Worst Equipment
Noisy inflatable mattresses that woke us up every time you moved.
Advice for Others
Plan well beforehand and take plenty of energy food.
