Your Experience

• Availability of information: Excellent - I started at Sullivan's Rock when I should have been at North Bannister, went south instead of north, and reached Mount Cook campsite where I saw an entry in the book by someone called Wrong Way Jim. that cheered me up immensely so I sorted myself out and headed north the next morning. I realized I had totally overestimated my abilities so left the track at Brookton Highway and walked to Roleystone. I made more mistakes than I care to mention but I WAS HOOKED.
• Amount of Wildlife Encountered: Excellent - Too many to mention

Favourite Section
Hard to decide but Blackwood and Warren are probably my favorite huts though Dog Pool and Woolbales are up there too.

Highlight of your trip
all the people I met
