Personal Reactions
To be one with the environment was amazing. Walked many consecutive days without seeing anyone and loved it. I loved my legs and how they just walked and carried my pack without a grudge!! I love the resilience of the bush, positiveness at its best. I have felt very humbled my others’ stories.
Wildlife
Did not see much but less is more. Heard lots of birds and frogs!!
Your Best Equipment
My best equipment was my legs!!! Allow me to add my shoes and my poles.
Your Worst Equipment
My worst equipment was my wandering mind leading to slips, trips, falls, and missing turns!!!
Advice for Others
Plan, plan, plan. Don’t rush and enjoy the character of each hut.
