General Comments
Walked by myself. But met some very interesting people along the track. Both men & women. All very friendly.
Food/Supplies Comments
Doing section to section of track had no food drops just carried what I needed. At least day pack gets lighter after a days food is taken out.
Favourite Section
I liked all the track as it changes between different types of country. This is a good thing as you never know what is over the next ridge. I liked the forest around the Donnelly River.
Highlights
Stop at the Donnelly River Village. It was cold and the hot meal in front of the open fire was perfect.
Personal Reactions
Was excited to start walk 7. Was glad to finish the year before my 73 birthday. Loved the challenging days as well the nice leisure walking days
Wildlife
Black cockatoos, kangaroos and on last leg saw 3 tiger snakes.
Your Best Equipment
A good sleeping bag
Your Worst Equipment
Weight of food.
Advice for Others
Just give it a go. It’s worth the walk.
Take photos and to share with everyone when you do get back just to prove it is wonderful out on the track.
