Hiking adventures across Australia

About

Hello I’m Michael, an hiker based in Melbourne, Australia, and I’m thrilled to have you join me on my adventures. This blog is dedicated to documenting my hiking journeys across Australia’s breathtaking landscapes, offering a glimpse into the beauty and challenges of each trail.

Hiking has always been a passion of mine, a way to connect with nature, challenge myself physically and mentally, and find a sense of peace and accomplishment. I’m excited to lace up my boots and explore some of Australia’s most iconic trails.

Here you’ll find detailed accounts of my hikes, including:

  • Preparation Tips: Essential gear, fitness training, and planning advice to help you get ready for your own adventures.
  • Itineraries: Day-by-day breakdowns of each hike, with insights into the terrain, distance, and highlights.
  • Daily Summaries: Personal reflections and experiences from each day on the trail, complete with photos and tips.

Some of the more iconic adventures include: the Overland Track in Tasmania and the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory. Both offer unique challenges and stunning scenery, and I can’t wait to share my experiences with you.

Whether you’re an experienced hiker or just starting out, I hope this blog inspires you to explore the great outdoors and discover the joys of hiking. Feel free to leave comments, share your own tips, and join the conversation.
