Food/Supplies Comments
Resupplied in towns - no worries. Made up my own food combos. ‘Winner track foods’ included oats, dried fruit, nuts, lollies, chocolate, licorice, tuna packets, salmon packets, sun dried tomatoes, pita breads, processed cheese triangles, chips, noodles, quick cook pasta, quick cook rice, dhal, deb instant potato, instant soup packets and tea. Some of these ‘winner track foods’ I never hope to see again! Until next time on the track!!

Watching the terrain slowly change from Kal to Al and enjoying the Bibb in its many moods! Reaching lookouts/viewpoints on the track and admiring the amazing views! The karri and tingle forests!
