Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsWhat a walk! I completed Kalamunda to Dwellingup and then Collie to Albany in one go in June/July 2015 and then came back and completed Collie to Dwellingup in July 2019. I have met some wonderful people on the track and also enjoyed the solitude of being in nature on my own for other parts of the walk.
Your Best Equipment
Light weight down jacket - hardly weighed anything and was so warm.
Your Worst Equipment
3/4 length sleeping mat - should have committed to the full length mat!
Advice for Others
Take your time. You spot so many amazing sights when you take the time to look around and appreciate being out on the track.
