Track Towns and Supplies

Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
As we did a consecutive sectional over a few years our food was always top notch and we may have been some of the only E2E's that gained weight!

Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
We all enjoyed the journey and the people we met on the way. Thank you to all the volunteers that make the track what it is.

Your Best Equipment
Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Insulated Sleeping Mat & Pump. Awesome nights sleep on this puppy.

Your Worst Equipment
Solar Battery charger. Ended up using a Anker PowerCore II 20,000 for most of the track. I could even charge other E2E phones.

Advice for Others
It's a fair commitment to undertake the Bibbulmun, but well worth doing.
