Track Towns and Supplies

• Buy along the way! And don’t default to junk food- I ended up giving away most of my pre planned boxes because my tastes and cravings changes drastically along the hike. So much available in track towns so save on prep and buy it along the way.

• Dwellingup
• Donnelly River Village

• Walpole
• Denmark
