General Comments
Even as PCT, Te Araroa Trail, Tokai Nature Trail and very many more experienced long distance hikers , we were taken by surprise about the beauty of the Bibbulmun track. Thank you very much for the outstanding walk!
Food/Supplies Comments
More convenience is simply not possible. We liked the grocery stores along the way.
Favourite Section
Denmark to Walpole but we didn’t want to miss one single step of the whole track.
Highlights
The wild and pristine Southern Ocean, Crossing Irwin Inlet with the canoes, the high Tingle trees, the kangaroos and emus at Donnelly River Village, climbing the Gloucester tree and the amazing starry skies of the southern hemisphere.
Personal Reactions
A perfect start our 10 weeks vacation in Australia - the Larapinta Trail, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail and part of the Heysen Trail completed it.
Wildlife
A lots of Cockatoos, many Kangaroos (even at the Ocean), hardly any snakes in the wintertime.
Your Best Equipment
The lightweight shoes, the professional water filter and the 100% waterproof expedition tent for heavy rainy and windy nights.
Your Worst Equipment
None
