Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
This was done over four years, each time starting where the previous section finished.

Your Best Equipment
Boots. It took several attempts before I found a pair that really suited me (Merril).

Your Worst Equipment
Nothing really - I carried too many clothes most times, but better to be prepared for bad weather.

Advice for Others
It's a challenge, but don't rush as there's plenty of time to complete each stage. Enjoy the journey!

Your Experience

Favourite Section
Although it's the closest section, the jarrah forest in Spring is magnificent and probably little known to many locals.

Highlight of your trip
The build up to the first ocean sighting is a highlight. Even though wave action is audible at Lake Maringup it takes several days to actually get to the coast.
