Track Towns and Supplies
- Did you have any issues finding food/supplies? Yes
- Left resupply boxes at visitor centres with the exception of Denmark and Pemberton which were unstaffed at the time. At Balingup I phoned ahead and the visitor centre volunteer was kind enough to deliver my box to the Post Office backpackers. As it turned out track towns had good stocks of appropriate dried foods anyway.
