General Comments
High recommend Guthook as well as maps and compass. Very well maintained track and shelters, I was very grateful to have a cosy place to sleep and fresh water every day.
Food/Supplies Comments
Don’t send yourself food at the start, you appetite will change and you might get sick of the same food. All towns are fine to resupply.
Favourite Section
Donnelly River Village (great swimming spots)
Highlights
Meeting my trail friends (Siesta, old Greg, and Lettuce). Body surfing down the Torbay Inlet just after Water Corp opened it!
Personal Reactions
Best thing I’ve ever done for myself! Loved seeing my own state from a new perspective.
Wildlife
The bite from the Myrmecia Ant felt like being stabbed by a hot knife. Stay away. I saw so many animals for the first time reunited a baby Mardo with its mum.
Your Best Equipment
Macpac sleeping bag - kept me very warm and my Kalamari sleeping mat
Advice for Others
Don’t do a “Barry”(ie don’t get lost). and do not forget to stop, look around and breathe it all in.
