General Comments

The Bibbulmun truly is a world-class long-distance trail.

Food/Supplies Comments

I didn’t use any resupply boxes. This made the section from Kalamunda to Dwellingup tough, as I mainly lived off plain rice and oats. Not recommended.

Favourite Section

Walpole to Denmark: tingle trees, beach-walking, kangaroos and tiger snakes.

Highlights

Singing in “harmony” at Lake Maringup with its resident ukulele. Swimming in the Murray River and the Southern Ocean. Climbing the Gloucester Tree.  My trail family.

Wildlife

My highlights were seeing a Dugite and many varieties of fairy wrens.

Your Best Equipment

My e-reader. A whole library in 300g and its splash-proof.

Your Worst Equipment

My leaky water bladder or maybe my stubbornness in refusing to replace it.

Advice for Others

Hike your own hike.
