General Comments

Planned an end to end but pulled off the track on day 3 for life threatening surgery. Back on track two weeks later! Walked Collie to Albany.  I walked Kalamunda to Collie and then Walpole to Albany in 2009 so this marks a sectional end to end.  I completed a full end-to-end in 2013.

Food/Supplies Comments

Food drops worked great. Few useful food supplies in Dwellingup, DRV and Northcliffe but fine everywhere else.  Fuel was never an issue.

Favourite Section

Balingup to Pemberton.

Highlights

All the fantastic people along the way. A shout-out to Rujo and Lisa.

Personal Reactions

I’m coming back. Again.

Wildlife

Snakes, Emus, Kangaroos. The usual.

Your Best Equipment

My Granite Gear Ghost Whisperer.

Your Worst Equipment

8kg of film equipment.

Advice for Others

Take your time and enjoy the track at your own pace. Allow flexibility in your schedule.
