General Comments

Very well maintained track made it very convenient to hike.  No need to worry about water or getting lost.  All information about the track was also easy to find from the website.

Favourite Section

Northcliffe to Walpole.

Highlights

Hitting the coastline for the first time was such an amazing experience.  Ocean was raging in the thunderstorm and winds ripped off the buttons of my poncho.

Wildlife

That was maybe the main reason to go for this hike.  I saw nearly 70 new bird species, almost 20 snakes, kangaroos, echidna and plenty of other mammals and reptiles.

Your Best Equipment

My Exped Mira 1 person tent and the pillow was the best I ever had ... a bit expensite though.

Your Worst Equipment

Not worst ....but luxury item!  Moustache wax.

Advice for Others

Don’t rush it and keep your eyes open.
