Your Experience

• Availability of information: Excellent - As I was walking the track in sections I found the website very useful. Used distance calculator, could see if any access roads, Read Section by Section guide, would check if any realignments/diversions, would check if any groups were staying when I was thinking of walking track and sometimes would change my section of walking accordingly
• Amount of Wildlife Encountered: Good

Favourite Section
Perth Hills Donnelly River to Pemberton Walpole through to Albany

Highlight of your trip
Walking through the Karri Forrest, beautiful coastal scenery, great campsites between Northcliffe and Walpole. One on a lake, one on a river, two with big rocks behind them, one in the Tingle trees, though only had lunch there. Meeting fellow hikers. Didn't meet that many but the ones we did were fantastic.
