Your Experience

Favourite Section
After crossin Wilson Inlet, I came into an area which is marked as Private Property, but part of the Bibbulmun Track. The path was mostly wide, shaded and a cool breeze blew off the water. Black Swans, Pelicans and other sea birds swam along the coastline and it felt so calm and tranquill.

Highlight of your trip
I guess the obvious one was reaching Albany and ringing the bell Loved the Beach walks, but walking through the forest sections was great.
