That could be said for any walk trail or track. The Bibbulmun Track is
one such example. Do you want to close it down or hide somehow from
others? Life is all about gaining experiences ...

Don't have a problem with that, but why should they not research on
the web? Informed walkers are better than illinformed ones in my view.

That is interesting ... that is not the story I hear nor is the
evidence of the use of it anything like that ...  Apparently folks
including the ranger walk into the hut often from Point Ann.  A
popular walk from what I hear.

So do I hope they will find it, but I will be sharing more details of
our experiences/walk on Aushiker.com.  I will not be providing full
track notes, those are already published in part at least in Forests
on Foot which has been around for what 20 years.

Sorry if my approach is not your approach. I guess that is one thing
you and I will have to just disagree on.

Regards
Andrew

Which is why I don't talk publicly about "offtrack" bushwalks or fishing

Be careful in the detail you provide for other hikers about this walk! Too
much detail encourages less experienced people to tackle missions like this
one. FRNP is a very special place and it is my believe that if walkers wish
to experience a full traverse, they should research for themselves - thereby

becoming more aware of the implications.

FRNP is a World Biospere Reserve, one of only two in WA. It contains rare
species such as the Ground Parrot, Dibbler, Heath Rats as well as many
geographically limited plant species. The small hut you stayed at within the

wilderness zone, was constructed for the purpose of a base to study and
monitor these species. The last time I enquired CALM was OK with it being
utilised by repectful wilderness adventure seekers - but quietly implying
'hush hush' keep it to yourself!!

G'Day Andrew,

I have been watching and reading with delight the exploits of fellow Western
Australian Walkers on Aushiker.com. I believe this forum is a great way to
channel knowledge gained from many diverse people in regards to walks in WA.

The photos of your recent escapades in FRNP bring back fond memories of my
own 6day solo W-E crossing of the park several years ago. It is good to see
the vegetation in the wilderness zone has further recovered from the 1997
wildfires.

Be careful in the detail you provide for other hikers about this walk! Too
much detail encourages less experienced people to tackle missions like this
one. FRNP is a very special place and it is my believe that if walkers wish
to experience a full traverse, they should research for themselves - thereby

I hope many others can enjoy this hidden gem - but please allow them to find

Hi,

Just a thought, depending on your fitness and how keen you and your mate
are on hills, but you could get dropped off where the track crosses
Brookton Highway, walk south, past Canning campsite (not all that far
from highway, maybe 8 to 10kms) and on to Monadnocks campsite (lovely
spot). About 16kms from memory -- I don't have the book with me and
you'd need to check distances and times.
Next day, it's over two big hills (if I can do them, anyone can) to the
new Mt Cooke campsite for an overnight stay. About 20kms.
Next morning, walk out to  Albany Highway at Sullivan Rock (couple of
hours, max, and get picked up there.
Or you could do it in reverse (Sullivan Rock is probably closer to
Mandurah) and finish at Brookton Highway. You can't miss the crossing
point, it's right under the bloody ugly power lines.

Cheers,  Tony

Hi David,

Without travelling too far you could do the section between
Dwellingup and Nth Bannister.  This is about 70 kms and passes thru
Chadoora, Mt Wells and White Horse huts.  Nice example of the
northern section of the Bib Track.

The best section of the track I have been on is from the Treetop Walk/
Valley of the Giants thru to Peaceful bay.  I found this most
interesting as the track passes thru big trees,  coastal plains,
swampy coast, coastal heath and beach/headland areas.  You could
leave your car at Walpole and arrange to be picked up from Peaceful
Bay Caravan Park at the end of the walk.  I believe the owner of the
Walpole Youth Hostel has a taxi licence and you could negotiate a
fare with him.  From Walpole you'd walk 62 kms and pass thru
Franklands, Giants and Ramehead huts.  It is beautiful country.

I want to do it again just discussing it!

Paul

Tonks,

A query.

Did you win Lotto or are you on Long Service Leave?

I do envy your traipsing around the bush for months on end with little
breaks back in town.

Ralph



<snip>

Ok Andrew,

The first hike (5 to 6 days) was from Hills Forrest (one night), then to
Ball
Creek campsite (2.6km and another night), we then went on to Helana campsite

(10km and another night) and back to ball creek (10km and another night).
Over
all that was the easiest walk I have ever done. Done with family members and

little kids.

Then the more recent walk comprised of myself and my hiking partner. We set
off from Kalamanda to Ball creek campsite during the day and then as a
planned
night walk we arrived at Helena campsite at 2030hrs (all in one day), about
31
km from memory in total that day. Then the second day was a rest day and
then
back to Hills Forrest ctr the third and picked up on the fourth day. Most
meals on this hike were either steak or bacon and eggs for brekky, no
kidding.
If anyone wants any more info just ask, sorry this is a very rushed email as
I
am still yet to un pack and then pack for a spot of bouldering.

Cheers all,
Tonks

Cheers to all for all the info in regards to the Cape to Cape, it came in

Hi Karl,

Must be that time of year, myself and two friends just finished the Cape to
Cape south to north..... great walk loved it. We are planning to head to
kalbarri or maybe even karajini/millstream-chichester for an expedition
later this year, if you are keen on joining us, or if you start your own
adventure, would love to hear all about it. Planning is still in the basics,
letting the lads recover for a week first, but will keep you informed as it
progress. If you do get responses from others love to be privy to your game
plan.

Cheers

Nath

All recipes for dehydrating eggs start (or should do) like this:

Buy a well-ventilated ONE-MAN tent and pitch it as far away from other
campers as possible . . . .

Drying eggs.........
===========================

Do a dozen or more at a time. Separate the whites and yolks. Whip the whites
into a stiff meringue adding 1 teaspoon cream of tartar per dozen eggs.
Meringue, when ready, is like a stiff whipped cream. Place this meringue on a
plastic film covered tray and dry it at 110 to 120°F [around 46C]. It dries in
about an hour. When dry, crush the whites into a powder and package them
separately.

Whip the yolks until they are smooth and pour this puree on a plastic film
covered tray. Dry as a leather. When it feels dry, crush it and grind it into a
powder. Redry this powder on a tray. When finally dry, grind it again and
package it separately.

To cook one egg, take 1 tablespoon of both the dried yolk and white and mix with
3 tablespoons of water. Let this sit 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes thick.
These are used as fresh eggs, and they taste like fresh eggs.

Dear Karl

BackpackGearTest.org has a mentor program where you get an
experienced Tester to hope you come up to speed with the testing
program. To be assigned a mentor, you just need to post a request for
a mentor in the Yahoo! group, BackpackGearTest which you will find at
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BackpackGearTest/>.

Regards
Andrew
