Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsA life changing experience on a fantastic track. It truly is an asset to the state and the support and sense of community around the Bibbulmun is fantastic. Thank you to everyone at the Foundation for helping to make it easy for us hikers to go on these adventures.
Your Best Equipment
Osprey Atmos 65L pack was amazingly comfortable and my sleeping system of a S2S insulated ultralight mat and S2S Trek III sleeping bag kept me super warm at night.
Your Worst Equipment
S2S uninsulated ultralight sleeping mat, had some very cold night on this.
Advice for Others
Take your time, photograph the wildflowers, listen to your body and make sure you put yourself in the best position to enjoy the experience.
