Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsThe Bibbulmun is an excellent long-distance walk with great facilities each day - and for free!
Your Best Equipment
My best equipment was everything I finished with - I had time to develop and change things over the years; very different from what I started with. We all learn!
Your Worst Equipment
A lot of things I started with. A tent that was too heavy, a pack that was too heavy, and generally too much stuff. It's surprising how little you need once you decide what is important.
Advice for Others
I started with just 1 night, as a trial, got hooked, and did the rest eventually - so could you.
