Your Experience

Favourite Section
No particular favourite as all had something special. I struggled through the sand dunes at the start but loved the ocean views. Tingle and Karri trees and rolling hills to granite top mountains with great views. The track has something special for everyone.

Highlight of your trip
Whales and dolphins at play on the coast to great mountain views. Meeting and chatting to other hikers along the way. I also made some great friendships at Peaceful Bay and Rames Head. These friends kept in touch and even met up a few times along the track. Jack came out to Hewitt's hut for the night to walk the last section and Cam ran in from Kalamunda and they both walked the last section with me.
