General Comments

We all enjoyed the journey and the people we met on the way. Thank you to all the volunteers that make the track what it is.

Food/Supplies Comments

As we did a consecutive sectional over a few years our food was always top notch and we may have been some of the only E2E’s that gained weight!

Favourite Section

The coast section just north of Peaceful Bay. We spent hours watching the migrating whales.

Highlights

Each night we spent on the track was always a highlight, especially when we could have drinks around the campfire.

Personal Reactions

Loved it so much, ready for the South to North next year.

Wildlife

Everything except a rabbit.

Your Best Equipment

Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Insulated Sleeping Mat & Pump. Awesome nights sleep on this puppy.

Your Worst Equipment

Solar Battery charger. Ended up using a Anker PowerCore II 20,000 for most of the track. I could even charge other E2E phones.

Advice for Others

It’s a fair commitment to undertake the Bibbulmun, but well worth doing.
