Hiking in Australia

This is a magnificently vast nation to explore. Walks in Australia can be multi-day, self-sufficient, wilderness adventures across some of the harshest land on Earth; sumptuous day hikes along the white sandy beaches of its sun soaked coastlines or strenuous rambles amongst some incredibly varied mountain ranges.

During your hikes in Australia, you’ll discover its distinctive endemic wildlife, such as kangaroos, rock wallabies and echidnas. With 16,007 miles (25,760 km) of coastline, there’s everything you could wish for. From stark limestone cliffs and majestic coves to unbelievably beautiful beaches, it’s all here.

Australia boasts some astonishing highland sights, such as the rocky fists, spine-like mountains and Huon pine forests of Tasmania, or the whispering creeks, monumental gorges and craggy peaks of the Flinders Ranges. Experience the alpine meadows, snow gum forests and windswept plains of the Snowy Mountains or head for the Northern Territory, where remote trekking, deep chasms and the fiery glow of red rock escarpments, set ablaze by the setting sun, will capture your heart.
