Fantastic adventure ! we had whole trail to ourselves didn't see any other human for 5 days . Track is well signposted & easy to follow. a few big days and guessing would be hot in summer. To our Suprise each campsite had a completely different feel & landscape . Toilets, water tanks and platform benches are provided at each camping area . ( tanks were full when we walked but still worth treating) check with rangers first on tank conditions. we did get mobile reception on a couple of the high ridges but not reliable. unfortunately some previous campers had lit fires, left rubbish and some toilets could do with a good clean. but the highlights over shadowed all... sunset at Brahminy overlooking lakes system, star gazing at the top of dunes system, whale pods moving up the coast, wildflowers a plenty, animal tracks on the sand blow , a golden sunrise on misty morning in a banksia wallum, A big python on track we stepped over , Rainforest critters at night, moss & fungi covered tree stumps, unusual bird calls in the canopy , refreshing dip in perched fresh water lake poona, stunning views of rainbow bay & ...the feed at rainbow pub at the end! this was our first ever multi day and overnight hike & i did a lot of research on what food and equipment to take . i'd recommend getting your pack weight down as low as possible ( we carried 14kg / 12.5kg / 9kg & 5kg respectively - mostly was food weight as my son gets hungry.. hence it reduced as we progressed ) there is some hilly sections and sandy zones and crossing sand blows with excess wouldn't be fun. I hear the walk is about to become commercialized and i hope that it doesn't become a highway in the process because the beauty of this walk is its remoteness. its one of the most memorable holidays our family has ever had. highly recommend !
