General Comments
Thank you everyone, that made and continue to make the Bibbilmun track so enjoyable.
Food/Supplies Comments
I posted all my resupplies to the towns. I would highly recommend this . I bulked bought, which reduced cost and allowed me more time to relax in the towns and recoup.
Favourite Section
The river section on the way into Ballingup is quite picturesque. The route out of Ballingup to Blackwood campsite. The views above the clouds are just specular.
Highlights
Meeting some amazing people along the way.
Henry whos youthfulness and over flowing backpack gave me some laughs. Bob the mad hutter, Henry the camp fire starter.
Cam and Mag who’s barefeet and sandles, put me in awe.
Magpie and Meerkat who’s resilience would put any of us to shame.
Personal Reactions
If you need a place to just escape, this is the place. With 1002km of trail, life couldn’t get any better with that kind of freedom and nature.
Wildlife
I saw so many kangaroos, emu’s 3 and wild black pigs. But no snakes. I’m not sure what I would have done if I saw one.
Your Best Equipment
My cheap rain poncho. So easy to put on and take off, without removing my pack. Light and pack-able.
Your Worst Equipment
My pack weight was 11.7kg. This allowed for no bad choice in equipment. My tent that I carried for the 40 days, was only used twice. Only carried it for safety.
Advice for Others
The hardest part is crossing the start line. Once you start, it’s over.
