To dip one’s toe – literally and metaphorically – into the delights and wilds of The NT, there might be no better place to start.

Short days or long days, cabins or tents. Chilly swims and hot showers. Come for the pristine beaches, stay for the forests, this walk distils much of the incredible beauty of Australia’s east coast.

From half a day to over a week, this is an entirely fresh taste of one of Australia’s best loved islands. Paradise found.

Bring your gear, resilience
and best understanding of the weather and you’ll join a storied 50-year tradition of traversing The Arthurs through one of Tasmania’s seven UNESCO World Heritage sites.

With 10,000 kilometres of ocean on one side, 3000 kilometres
of desert on the other and just
a tad over 1000 kilometres to walk, The Bib’s numbers can be daunting. But it is not without
its comforts, including being changed by such extended time spent deep in the heart of quiet, varied and beautiful country.

Over a big four days, the highs and lows of this walk – both geographic and personal – are fabulously framed by icy water by day and open fires at night.

A true alpine day walk – or simple overnighter, hut included – that will have you back in the bush capital in under an hour feeling entirely refreshed. Though perhaps not your legs.

This hike is a wild, wet and perhaps snowy journey through a mythic Australian setting to an unlikely named destination.

With plants and animals largely unchanged from their ancestors in the fossil record, a walk through the World Heritage- listed Gondwana Rainforests is a chance to experience one
of the most ancient environments on earth.

What better way to reward the effort of seeing than going to country that dares you to think there’s nothing there?

A loop via the roof of Australia takes in sweeping alpine views before descending into
a verdant valley and following a cascading river.

With 23 different bays and coves to explore, and flying under the radar of the big Queensland destinations, you’ll never be happier to get lost in paradise while walking this stunning national park.

Travelling light through day-walk heaven in the mighty Flinders Ranges is a sublime mix of adventure and comfort.

Go overnight or for a week but with drop toilets, waterfall baths, peak-bagging, boat rides and slick phone apps, the Thorsborne Trail will give you a new appreciation for Queensland’s largest tropical island.

Make sure to explore the epic Jagungal Wilderness at least once in your lifetime – sweeping alpine plains, iconic mountain huts and the omnipresent Mount Jagungal.
