Track Towns and Supplies
- How many days did you stay in Track Towns? 2
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? No
- We posted food parcels to most track towns and the contents varied depending on the options for re-supply. This saved time when we reached a town. Our parcels towards the end of the trip were smaller, which encouraged us to stock up on different kinds of food, although I'm not sure when I can face another mueslie bar!
- Kalamunda
- Dwellingup
- Balingup
- Donnelly River Village

Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsThis is a hike that gets under your skin (and I don't mean the ticks). A track of this length allows you to settle in for the long-haul and take everyday as it comes and when the end draws close, you find yourself planning how you can make the next E2E happen. A true gem of a hike.
Your Best Equipment
I have had a love/hate relationship with my rain-skirt on other hikes with more challenging terrain, but it excelled on the Bibb. Plenty of air-circulation meant no sweaty legs, super quick to put on and simple to remove, making it easy for me to keep my legs dry and warm when the showers rolled in.
Your Worst Equipment
Polypropylene gloves - they may have been lightweight and quick drying, but they offered no warmth whatsoever. I ended up wearing my thick sock over my hands when walking on chilly mornings.
Advice for Others
Don't let your mind get too far ahead of itself. Be in the moment; the anticipation of those first steps on day 1, the journey through the changing landscapes and the uncertainty of what's next. You won't get that simplicity of being on track once it's over!
