General Comments

This hike has been in my bucket list for such a long time, now I have retired from work, I have been able to accomplish my dream, what an experience the track did not disappoint.

Food/Supplies Comments

Homemade dehydrated food, I use recipes from Kevin of the Outdoors You tube videos. All food was excellent not one bad recipe.

Favourite Section

Definitely the coast

Highlights

Meeting fabulous people, both fellow hikers and track maintenance workers who stopped for a chat

Personal Reactions

Overwhelmed I didn’t want the experience to end

Wildlife

Not too much wild life, mostly red tailed cockatoos and a few kangaroos

Your Best Equipment

For me my old fashioned Trangia it cooked my dehydrated food to perfection

Your Worst Equipment

My shoes “Ozbos” let me down they are only 3 years old and they leaked making my feet soggy for 3 days.
