Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsWe appreciated the amount of voluntary effort devoted to maintaining the track and shelters. We found the track well signed with waugals but not always on the rock faces and some road crossings. Good comradeship along the way, we met interesting fellow walkers.
Your Best Equipment
The Minimo Jey Boil - economical in usage and fast! (gas stove)
Your Worst Equipment
Camelbak hydration bladder - more trouble than they're worth.
Advice for Others
Slow down and smell the coffee (well maybe the eucalyptus and wildflowers) Treat it as a race to the end and you will miss so much.
