Your Experience

• Availability of information: Excellent
• Amount of Wildlife Encountered: Excellent - Lots of snakes between Walpole and Albany. Emus, one of which had 7 chicks! And an Echidna just outside Collie

Favourite Section
Pemberton-Peaceful Bay. This whole section was amazing, each day an adventure in itself. Being the only person a couple of days in front and behind me to attempt going through the Pingerup Plains and it turning out to be manageable knee-deep water. Hitting the coast for the first time and walking through the giant tingle trees

Highlight of your trip
Meeting the many hikers along the way and being able to share the experience with them
