General Comments

This is a truly wonderful track, well maintained, great shelters.  It passes through some spectacular country.  Thanks to all those who have made it possible.  I hope to return one day.

Food/Supplies Comments

A combination of parcels posted to various towns and purchased during the hike and it worked.

Favourite Section

Probably Northcliffe to Peaceful Bay, being the most varied, but really loved it all.

Highlights

The wild storms, my wife walking me for the first week - then walking into and meeting me at various points along the way.  My son-in-law flying from Brisbane to walk with me from Northcliffe to Walpole.  The many other walkers I met along the way.

Personal Reactions

Just loved it.  When I finished I wanted to turn around and walk back.

Wildlife

I was promised lots of snakes.  Only saw about eight the whole time.  The black cockatoos were very special.

Your Best Equipment

My boots - no blisters!

Your Worst Equipment

Hiking poles - useful, but I snapped both of them.
