Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsBeautiful Track, great variety in scenery, campsites well maintained. Track much more challenging than expected. Instead of being just long it was long AND up - down - up - down - up - down.....
Your Best Equipment
My brave feet.
Your Worst Equipment
Probably sleeping bag: lightweight but not warm enough on some 'freezing' nights I had in October.
Advice for Others
Always make sure you know which way you need to go in the morning. I once walked back to where I had just come from the other day but luckily realized it after 2 or so km. Happened to another walker the next day at the next campsite and he had to walk an extra 10 km that day.
Trip Details

- Who did you complete the Track with? Solo (primarily)
- Was undertaking your hike the PRIMARY/MAIN purpose of your TRAVEL from where you currently live? No
Your Experience
Hard to pick, probably anything along near water, river creek, dam, inlet and the ocean. Of course quite unexpectedly wading from Mt Chance to Woolbales (instead of walking) was so much fun. Just put on sandals and enjoy the puddles!
