Hiking

Back in the days when Australia was first being settled, bushwalking was a necessity. There was no other way to get around, and besides that, early Aussies had an insatiable urge to explore the countryside. And if the truth be told, they still do. Bushwalking is part of the tradition here now that most Aussies have taken part in at some time or another. There’s always another peak to climb, another ridge to cross or another valley to explore. If this sounds familiar to you, then hiking around Australia might just be the thing for you. Much of Australia’s most precious natural wonders are protected, and exist along the many walking trails around the country.

Walking trails here range from easy to downright dangerous! No matter what your experience, there’s some trail or track with your name on it. Passing through the best scenery Australia has to offer, walking tracks are designed so that hikers get the most out of their experience. The variety of terrains here means that no two tracks are the same, with many of them covering more than one type of natural environment. The east coast rises up into rugged mountains in the south, while the north is a tropical paradise. Further west you’ll find the longest trails in the country, taking you through the bushlands of Western and South Australia. If you’re after an adventure, getting around the country on foot will be something you’ll never forget.
