28/5/10 Just started the Cape to Cape with 2 friends. We had just finished the Bib and only like to carry 10-12 kg so made carrying a tent not an option. We based ourselves at Hamlin Bay caravan park which was a magic spot. Day one drove to Cape Leewin and walked 27ks back to Hamlin. Then went back to pick up the Car. Amazing day of coast, blow holes and rock platforms. DAy 2 Contos 23ks we dropped off the car which the park people were happy for us to leave. We walked back to Hamlin. Day 3 drove to Prevelly and walked back to Contos.20ks This way of doing things may not suit everyone but we loved just having a Day pack. The Accomodation worked out at $95.00 each including the 3 nights. Great value. We missed our Jet boil stove but a good bed made up for it, and we took our food it was fun and we even managed to see a gallery. The track does wonders for the leg musles but easier on the feet than the bib, with not one blister to brag about at the end. The guide book is essencial with the markers often not surviving the rugged coastal conditions. Thanks Cape to Cape people, after travelling south many times I really feel I had not touched on the coast until now it is remarkable.

17/5/2010 Four of us old blokes (all 50 plus)flew in from Queensland to tackle the walk in early May. We had a fabulous and incident free trip. 30mm of rain on our fourth night at Point Road campside had us chuckling as weather reports labeled it as a one in 20 year event. Coming from Cairns that was a brief shower! This time of year seemed ideal with the sandy beaches still tolerable and cool, mainly clear days but sufficient drinking water. We arranged for a friendly local to transfer our packs from Hamelin Bay to Augusta on the alst day. What a treat! The YHA's in Dunsborough and Augusta are fantastic refuges. Because of the length of our days we were all foot sore at the end of the days walk so would recommend good quality footwear for the entire walk. Phil ended up doing the last 4 days (of 6 days) in socks and teva sandals.

16/5/10 My Dad and I walked from the Cape Naturalist to Cape Leeuwin in late March 2010 for a personal project. We didn't do the camps but stayed in Prevelly. We don't know what we would have done without the guidebook and recommend it to everyone. It was excellent trekking weather and the sights were magnificent. We enjoyed every moment and wanted to thank you for providing such a beautiful experience. Thumbs up! :)

21st - 26th April 2010 Finished the track yesterday in 5 and a half days staying at the 5 campsites. What a great walk and I would like to thank the efforts of DEC, Green Corp and all the other volunteers involved with the track. I had the whole variety of weather and saw some great areas not easily seen from 4WD’s. All the water tanks had water lowest one was Ellensbrook with about 300lts.(oh! BYO toilet rolls at Deepdene):) Great job crew!

My partner and I walked from Gracetown to Cape Naturaliste over the 2010 ANZAC long weekend (late April). The spectacular scenery was matched by the perfect hiking weather. Plenty of water in the Moses Rock water tank, but only a couple of hundred litres remaining at Mt Ducksworth. This should start being topped up as winter starts closing in, but worth checking on if you're planning on relying on it. This part of the track was in very good condition, although we lost it briefly about 1km south of Sugarloaf rock. The guide book is fantastic, with 1:25000 maps + notes. We took the maps as well, but if you have the guide book don't bother with the maps. We passed some day walkers, but only 6 overnighters - pretty quite for a long weekend. So don't plan on too much traffic for safety etc. A big thanks to The Friends of Cape to Cape and DEC/CALM for track infrastructure and maintenance. Thanks, Mark

16/2/2010 My son Nick Baker and I completed the full walk in seven days beginning at Cape Naturaliste on Jan 5 and reaching Cape Leeuwin on the 11th. We had company only at our camp at Ellensbrook where there were two backpakers. We saw a total of five walkers other than ourselves. Weather was hot but bearable...we holed up at midday. Flies abated after our second day. We found water in all of the creeks. All of the tanks had water as well. We carried capacity for 10+ liters which allowed us very nice dry camps. There was definitely more access to water than we expected. Track markers were in good shape. We navigated with no problems. The maps from DOE are superb. This was one of the most beautiful walks I have experienced over 55 years. Hats off the the Friends of Cape to Cape and to DOE and CALM!

January 2010: I managed to complete part of the C2C from Dunsborough to Prevelly a couple of weeks back. My dodgy right foot blistered badly and the second toe became discoloured, I guess the old foot did not like the new boots! Besides my right leg is not properly aligned due to a childhood accident but I never allow that to stop me from hiking all over he world. The views along the C2C are awesome, matching those of the Great Ocean Road Hike. I met an old couple, 70+ doing day walks, they inspire me to walk a bit further. There is variety in the landscape and the track varied from steep uphill climb to a walk in the park along old 4WD tracks. There were 3 other young people doing the C2C when I was there. The camp sites are great with good dunnies and clear water supply. The people I met along the C2C we friendly and helpful. I was given a ride out of the wilderness by a 4WD owner who took me to Margaret River to get medical attention and a bus back to Perth. Even with the setback, I enjoyed the C2C immensely. I will be back to complete the C2C from Prevelly to Augusta.

14.12.2009 Mon It was a wonderful trek. We (Doris & Greg) started from Cape Nataliste on 06/12 @ 17:00 and finished the cape to cape walk in 6 days on 12/12 @11:36 at Cape Leeuwin. In between we have half day break in Grace Town/Prevelly and one full day in Hamelin Bay. The scenery is amazingly beautiful, the nature, the sand, sea, sun, was gorgeous. Went off track a few times due to the missing sign & hidden sign by overgrown scrubs though, but it gave survival intuition. Met a guy from Scotland, two guys from Perth and a sweet lady with two dogs who is training for her Himalayan's trip. Thank you so much for the magnificent experienced. Doris

3/12/2009 Amazing trail really well marked. We chose this trail to be the first trail we did on our 3 month vaction and we are so happy. One of the most amazing trails we have ever done. I would highly recommend it to everybody. Check out our blog about it at http://www.dirt4life.com/adventures/hiking-the-cape-to-cape-trail

09/11/2009 We walked from Canal Rock to Camp Duckworth from the 26th October to 27th October, 2009. We walked the track with the noongars from Newton Moore SHS, Bunbury. I saw a bobtail, whale, butterflies and some darty waves. The campsite was open out spaces with dead and dry trees. The campsite toilet was smelly but the rest was good.

9/11/09 well we started the walk from the canal rocks to the lighthouse. it took us 2 days and the experience was great. i went there for a high school excersion with my teacher and 3 other students. we left at 10:50am from the canal rocks and arrived at the campsite later in the arvo at 3:40pm on the 28/10/09. the next day was to dangerous because of the weather so we took the car to the rest of the sites (sugar loaf rock,lighthouse) and then headed bak to school. the walk was very exausting though the site along the way were something to look at. i wood love to try the track again from the start

8/09 I walked north to south in July. I was very fortunate with the weather till the last day when a gale blew in and I was on Deepdene beach. It was still good to experience such wild and spectacular conditions. It was scary crossing Turner (so called) creek as it was flooding and I was sinking up to my thighs in the wet sand. As the guidebook I had said that it was difficult to find the emergency exit track I spent a lot of energy flailing aound in the dunes looking for it. Thank you to the person who had stacked stones in a pile at the base of the way up to the exit track. Im glad that it looks like that exit seems to be having steps built to it- I do not know how I would have gone walking along the rock platform with the waves crashing on it. Thank you to all the people who have put their love and work into the track so that I could enjoy it.

19/6/2009 We, myself and two friends (Roy Warren and Ron Clarke) would like to thank you and congratulate you on the provision of what is a great opporunity. Seven years ago I climbed LKiliminjaro and I have to say I enjoyed the C to C nearly as much. Great scenery and an opportunity to get away from it all (lets hope the digital mobile service always stays as bad as it is and allows us to stay out of contact) I thought I might make one comment that I hope will be considered helpful : We walked from South to North and noticed after the second day that the signage is positioned for those walking from North to South, not sure what can be done but just a comment. Secondly at those points where there is ready access to the track i.e. popular surfing beaches the signage has been vandalised and in most cases non existant, I would suggest that more permanent signage (metal, painted,concreted) should be considered? I realise it is unsightly but in most cases the environment in those ares is compromised anyway? Once again thank you and if you could let us know the appropriate address we should like to make a small donation as a way of assisting you cause. regards Geoff G Jones

23/5/2010 Four of us walked the Cape to Cape Track end to end (self sufficient) on the 11th - 16th May 2010, what a great experience, I would recommend it to Everyone! The guidebook was a very handy companion however completing the trail in 5 days was quite a challenge. The weather was hot, cold, wet, and windy often all in the one day so be prepared! … The terrain very varied, from bitumen tracks and rocky scrambles to long stretches walking on sand, which is not easy and we have the sore legs and feet to prove it! The campsites are good and most provide a reliable water source (most of the creeks were flowing by then also). I think it would be good if there were a few more ‘hikers campsites’ along the trail (similar to the Bibbulmun track) this would allow you to take longer to walk it, and enjoy some of the beautiful remote coastal areas. Thankyou to all the people who help to maintain the track, keep up the spectacular work! I have no doubt we will be doing it again :)
