On Two Feet

Australia is a vast land with enormous diversity, much of it aching to be explored by foot. The undulating topographies provide endless strolls along pristine beaches, ephemeral tracks made in the red sand of the arid interior and meandering journeys through the world’s most ancient rainforest. Spending time in The Great Outdoors is synonymous with the Australian lifestyle and there is no shortage of inspiring wilderness to discover.

For travellers desiring a physical challenge, self-guided adventure or solace and reconnection with nature; the opportunities on two feet are boundless. Knowledgeable and passionate guides and hosts can help guests explore the region and find inspiration at every turn. Many walking trails are built on a restricted footprint among the native ecosystem, designed to minimise environmental impact. There’s no denying walking pace lends itself to relaxation, a heightened sense of connection to place and keen observations, perhaps unavailable if you were exploring by any other means.

Over 28 million hectares of land is designated as national parkland - the regional experiences are as varied as the landscape, with opportunities to discover farmers markets among the vineyards, cultural bush tours with a local Aboriginal guide or picturesque sunrises on a wildlife expedition. The exhilaration of summiting a mountain, running along a forest trail or admiring breathtaking views along Australia’s iconic coastline is made all the sweeter coupled with the satisfying knowledge of the unsurpassed comfort that awaits at the end of the day at an Australian Luxury Lodge.
