Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsPlanned an end to end but pulled off the track on day 3 for life threatening surgery. Back on track two weeks later! Walked Collie to Albany. I walked Kalamunda to Collie and then Walpole to Albany in 2009 so this marks a sectional end to end. I completed a full end-to-end in 2013.

Your Worst Equipment
8kg of film equipment.
