Flinders Ranges - Heysen Trail Walk Kangaroo Island Walking Alpine Rambling - Bogong High Plains, Victoria Bogong Alpine Traverse Historic Huts Ramble - Bogong High Plains, Victoria Australia for Walkers Australia's Coast to Coast Walk
The Flinders Ranges are a spectacular and rugged range to the north of Adelaide, a part of Australia's unique outback.
For our walks we select the most interesting and scenic sections, visiting historic mines and settlers ruins, Aboriginal rock carvings and cave paintings. We walk through deep gorges of red quartzite, under towering bluffs and to hidden springs and rock pools. We visit the crater-like formation of Wilpena Pound, an important feature in Aboriginal mythology, historic Blinman, and the ruins of Kanyaka Homestead. Sightings of euros, red kangaroos, emus and flocks of colourful parrots are common. We stay at an historic, outback, pastoral property and experience this very Australian lifestyle. We walk without packs and return to soft beds, hot showers and good food each night. This is the landscape that inspired Sir Hans Heysen, our most famous artist. Included: Transport (ex Adelaide),
accommodation, entry fees, all meals, wine, and guide.
Situated just off the South
Australian coast, Kangaroo Island is world famous for its superb
coastline, its prolific and easily observed wildlife and its
wide range of endemic plant species and bushland habitats. It
is still a wild and unspoilt place. Wildflowers are found in
every season, and we can stroll along a beach which is home
to a large breeding colony of sea lions: a truly unique experience.
Our Kangaroo Island holiday combines visits to the island’s major attractions and walking in this natural wonderland. From our comfortable farm accommodation we set off to walk along rugged cliff tops and pristine beaches. We visit Seal Bay, Kelly Hill Caves, walk along the South West River and to the dramatic mouth of Rocky River. We visit lonely, historic light-houses, the Remarkable Rocks and the incredibly tame native animals at Rocky River. On our travels we see Kangaroos, Tammar Wallabies, Emus, Echidnas, Koalas, the once endangered Cape Barren Geese, Possums and Fairy Penguins. Spotlighting animals at night is a special feature of this tour. Included: Transport ex Adelaide, ferry, entry fees, accommodation, all meals, wine, and guide.
When the snows melt, Victoria's Bogong High Plains become a wonderland of mountain streams and alpine wildflowers. The mountain air is cool and fresh; the mountain scenery is spectacular! Our tour is based at a modern Falls Creek ski lodge and each day we set out to explore a different part of this mountain grandeur; returning each evening to hot showers, gourmet meals and soft beds. We hike through shady forests, across alpine meadows, into snow gum woodlands and visit picturesque huts built by the pioneer cattlemen of the High Plains. In the evening you may wish to try trout fishing, play tennis or simply relax in the lodge lounge. Included: Transport, twin/share accommodation, all meals, wine, entry fees, and guide.
