General Comments

Great walk, shows diversity of our State. The Bibbulmun Track Foundation is well organised and does an incredible job of maintaining.

Food/Supplies Comments

We carried our own dehydrated food and by the end it was quite gourmet and everything became extremely lightweight.

Favourite Section

Difficult to pick. Walpole to Albany because of the beautiful trees, birds, beaches and fragile environment.

Highlights

Meeting so many fantastic walkers from all over the world and sharing stories.

Personal Reactions

Took a very long time due to some illness and other personal commitments but great sense of achievement when I finished.

Wildlife

Wildlife is brilliant, got to appreciate snakes and loved the kangaroos and birdlife in Tingle country.

Your Best Equipment

Changed over the years as my experience grew. Sea to Summit mattress and other gear invaluable. And gaiters.

Your Worst Equipment

First pack and first pair of boots!!!!

Advice for Others

Just do it.
