Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
The Bibbulmun track was my introduction to hiking and it was one that I'll never forget. The people I met, the ones who helped us and the people I went with made this experience well worth it. This journey has been incredible and I hope to create and experience more like it in the future.

Your Best Equipment
MY SLEEPING-BAG!! I can't recall the brand however a good sleeping-bag makes all the difference even if your mat is bad.

Your Worst Equipment
Hiking poles, but I just don't like to use them so that's preferential.

Advice for Others
If the campsite doesn't give you a lookout for a sunset spot- go look for one!! Some of my best experiences have come from this! also the sunsets are better in the first half of the year.
