General Comments

It’s an amazing journey! One of my favourite thing i’ve done in my life!

Food/Supplies Comments

Don’t pack the same snacks every day!

Favourite Section

I especially enjoyed the franklin section, as that is my earliest memory on the track (or possible my earliest memory altogether), it was very nice to revisit it recently.

Highlights

Meeting other walkers, you sort of make a bib track family!

Personal Reactions

Glad to be done, it was such a journey, thanks to my mother (Sophie) for taking me on it and fostering a love for the bush.

Wildlife

Echidnas, Possums, People, Animals outside the hut in the middle of the night.

Your Best Equipment

Luci, solar powered waterproof light

Your Worst Equipment

Too small shoes (especially when going down hills)

Advice for Others

Just do it, don’t let anything hold you back, just walk the track, life’s to short
