Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsI walked roughly half the track South to North in 2018 and finished with year walking North to South. I had my husband, a wonderful friend, and my kids join me for some sections and I walked roughly half the track alone. It was one of the best things I have ever done and I enjoyed every moment! Western Australia continually blew me away with its beauty! I am very thankful to all those who created, and continue to care for and maintain the track.
Your Best Equipment
My trekking poles! The Guthooks App for those "Am I still on the trail?" moments.
Your Worst Equipment
I didn't have any worst equipment but I did do a lot of equipment (pack, tent, sleeping mat) swaps between 2018 to 2019 to lighten my pack.
Advice for Others
Go for it!
