Bibbulmun Track completed

It took us 27 walking days, but we made it. We left the start of the track at Kalamunda, east of Perth, at noon on Sept. 9 arriving at Dwellingup 13 days later. A rest day there, 7 more days on the track, and then into Collie for another rest day. The last 7 walking days were broken with a rest day in Balingup before taking taxi, bus, train, another bus, plane, shuttle bus and another taxi to get home yesterday morning. The total distance walked from Kalimunda to Donelly River was 465km. and this, with the walking in 2007 and 2008, makes us end-to enders. And we feel pretty good about that. Our knees and legs got stronger the more we walked, so we are now wondering where our next big hike might be. Could it be Jade Mountain (Yushan) in Taiwan?
We will upload some photos in the next few days.
Here are some of our better photos:-
