General Comments
Wonderful life experience, only possible through the generous volunteers that maintain and look after this national treasure, the Bibbulmun Track.

Plan carefully. Don’t take too much. Whilst I didn’t have dehydrated food, I could certainly see the benefits.

Amazed at the diversity of the terrain and nature, the kind weather we had, great comradery amongst walkers, excellent facilities and helpful advice.

Expected to see more, but acknowledge that most animals are nocturnal and we were walking during the day.
Ticks were big problem in first sections of the track.
