Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- Dehydrated all our food before we left. None went off and one of my favourites was the dehydrated hommus for lunch everyday. Ate SO much licorice but the highlight was having German cheesecake from the Juicy Beetroot Cafe in Freo brought to us at Brookton Campsite. All the towns had good supplies and with all the pigging out, we both lost weight.
Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsWe had a variety of weather but have never seen so much water on the Track. Glad we took 60 days to do it and stayed in some towns a third night.
Your Best Equipment
Most of it - all tried and tested.
Your Worst Equipment
Socks I burnt on the fire
Advice for Others
Do your planning and get a trip planning advice session with the Foundation. Met a few people out there that didn't and they ran into all sorts of challenges they didn't have to. Also do it with someone you know well. Oh and pack some extra surprise treats into your food drops. Take your time, don't rush it.

Highlight of your trip
Rest day at Mt Wells, walking into DRV, icecream at Sullivan Rock, the mist surrounding the peaks around Mt Cuthbert and Mt Vincent, rescuing an injured owl on the Pingerup Plains and handing it over to pig shooters from Collie to take care of it, typing up the last day of Track notes after walking into Albany, the squillions of mosquito and helmet orchids between DRV and Pemberton. Reading the stories in the red registers.
