READ NOWWalking the Bibbulmun Track has been a personal challenge for Mr Dennis, who works at DIY Bali Huts in Mandurah.
“It’s been tiring, but pretty good,” he said.
“I’ve done it to clear the mind, meditation and to get away from society.
“I plan on finishing in early July.”
Mr Dennis said he was enjoying the trek so far and had seen lots of wildlife, such as emus, kangaroos and owls.
He expects some obstacles though, such as rain during winter and having to cross rivers.
One night he was sleeping and heard gunshots about 200m away.
“They set off about 12 rounds, so that was a bit scary,” he said.
“I was going to blow my whistle, to let them know I was there, but then I heard a four-wheel drive pull off.”
