Hi all,

Im just getting into the bushwalking/hiking thing because Im trekkiing
Kokoda In September and I need a bit of info. I am looking for boots at
the moment and would love some info on the best places to go and what
brands/features to look for. I would prefer to try boots on as I have
long skinny feet, price isnt to important as I plan on continuing to use
them.

Also I live in Mandurah and want to know of some good training places I
dont mind travelling and would prefer to start with day trips. The lady
Im going to Kokoda with is partially blind (but is basicly an Amazon and
would run rings around me fitness and experience wise).Any tips on
building endurance or the best ways to train would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
