  • CW Adventure Word Template
    Our Self-Guided Walking Adventures are ideal for travelers with an independent spirit who enjoy exploring at their own pace. We provide authentic accommodations, luggage transfers, and some meals, along with comprehensive Route Notes, detailed maps, and 24-hour emergency assistance. This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. The wild coast of Australia’s state of Victoria has long been hidden from view, an unspoiled green ribbon of rolling hills sandwiched between the scenic Great Ocean Road and the tempestuous surf of the Southern Ocean. Today, walkers can finally experience the primitive and pristine beauty of this staggeringly beautiful corner of Great Otway National Park, thanks to the recently completed Great Ocean Walk. Lace up your boots to explore almost 60 miles of untouched wilderness, choosing high trails over towering sea cliffs or beach hikes alongside crashing surf. From the charming village of Apollo Bay to the famed Twelve Apostles sea stacks, this is some of the most remote and remarkable terrain you are ever likely to traverse. Using rustic, homestead-style lodgings in sparsely populated seaside towns as your base, you hike through primeval manna gum forests where koalas linger high in the canopy and past wide grassland grazed by kangaroos. Trace heathland ablaze with vibrant wildflowers and lush wetlands where rivers and waterfalls meet the sea. Marvel at colossal shipwrecked anchors cemented in beach sand and stroll through working farmlands. But perhaps the real beauty of hiking the undulating Great Ocean Walk is this: few people have walked it before you, and it is pure privilege to count yourself among the first to witness its magnificence.

  • Essential Information About the Overland Track
    OVERLAND TRACK Essential information Thank you for choosingWhat tothe expect Overland Track as your next walking adventure! The Overland Track is a 6 to 7 day journey covering a minimum of 65km from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair. The track passes beside some of Tasmania’s highest mountains and deepest valleys as you walk through a variety of vegetation communities from buttongrass moorlands to temperate rainforests. Simple huts are provided along the track with campsites and toilets nearby. Once you start walking, the next road and commercial centre you will come to is at the end of the track. You will need to carry your own equipment and food for the entire journey. Walking with children We do not recommend the Overland Track for very young children (under 8 yrs). Daily walk distance is between 8-17 km and unpredictable weather, including blizzards, can occur at any time, even in the middle of summer. If parents/carers do intend to walk with young children, we recommend the children gain experience on other less demanding multi-day walks and their parents/carers have experience walking in Tasmania’s alpine areas. Be prepared! The Overland Track is a self-sufficient walking journey. In Tasmania’s high country you may be exposed to weather extremes. In summer you can depart from a hut in the morning enjoying a sunny day only to be battling through a snowy blizzard by evening. It is essential that you carry warm clothing, waterproof jacket and pants, a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, food, cooking equipment and first aid kit.
