General Comments

I knew it was going to be great but this was better than I could ever have imagined

Food/Supplies Comments

Home dehydrated food was SO much better than store bought

Favourite Section

All along the coast

Highlights

Parry Beach Campground when the caretaker gave me a cuppa and a fruit mince pie

Personal Reactions

I loved the clean shelters and track so was mortified by one person in front of me leaving rubbish in the shelters and on the track

Wildlife

Saw a large mob of Emus and Kangaroos along with plenty of snakes

Your Best Equipment

Aarn backpack and Hoki Speedgoat2 trail runners

Your Worst Equipment

The Sea to Summit insulated mattress that crackled so loudly everytime I moved that it woke others

Advice for Others

Getting fit on the track was not one of my best ideas as it took 3 weeks before I could easily walk 20ks so next time I’ll be putting in the hard yards before I leave
