Australia Hiking

Hiking in Australia takes in dense tropical and subtropical landscapes, mountainous alpine, tall timber forests, including the ancient Karri forests south of Perth, undulating green hills, rugged coastlines, the endless horizons of the outback and the stark red country of the Flinders Ranges in Southern Australia.

From the Cradle Mountain Lake St Claire walk in Tasmania to the Daintree in northern Queensland, from Norfolk Island in the Pacific to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, to the Kimberlys in Western Australia and the Simpson Desert in the Centre, this is one beautiful land and the best way to really experience it is on foot.

Australia hiking tourist organisations operate throughout the country for guided experiences, from luxury to wilderness adventure. On such adventures it is necessary to have the correct hiking shoes - Australia is known for its snakes and spiders - and hiking clothes. When travelling in Australia, climate conditions are uncertain, particularly in the Alpine regions of Victoria and Tasmania where a sunny summer day can turn to a blizzard without warning.

For beginners, beautiful walks of just a few hours are available, even within the bounds of most major cities. For those up to moderate challenges while travel hiking and backpacking around Australia, two to seven day treks are available throughout the country, including the Hinterland behind the Gold Coast.

For the highly experienced, try the 70-day Alpine Walking Track through Victoria and southern NSW, and the 1,200 klm Heysen Trail, which skirts around Adelaide before heading into the outback.
