General Comments

World class track.  Thank you so much to all the volunteers who keep the track in an excellent condition.  Thanks also to the amazing people I met along the way.

Food/Supplies Comments

I resupplied at the towns.  The freeze dried meals were a bit hit and miss, but it was always possible to get sufficient supplies.

Favourite Section

Walpole -> Denmark and DRV.

Highlights

I can never forget the tingle trees, together with the karri trees - it was like walking in the land of the giants.  Also the wildflowers and orchids were spectacular.

Personal Reactions

An amazing experience.  It pushed me physically, (at times) and mentally but it was the friendships I made along the way that were very special.

Wildlife

Thanks to John T., I saw a lot of kangaroos, wallabies, many birds and yes snakes.

Your Best Equipment

Anything that was light weight.

Your Worst Equipment

Anything that was heavy.

Advice for Others

Just get out there and walk - even if you can only do it for a few days.
