Small group or tailor made?
The majority of tailor made walking holidays take place in Victoria. Trails are fairly easygoing and well-signposted, and there are plenty of places to stay within walking distance. One tailor made walking tour takes on a scenic section of the 1,000km Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia. This trip can also be undertaken with a guide.
“First and foremost, the benefit of self guided and small group walking tours in Australia is: value. It costs a bucket load to hire vehicles out in the bush and we’ve also negotiated better rates from local accommodation hosts and suppliers. There’s way less stress and hassle as everything’s organised in advance. You also benefit from guides having walked all the ordinary tracks and weeded them out before you set off.”
How tough are the walks?


Walking in Australia can be as challenging or relaxing as you wish – from 15km to 25km daily distances along sections of the 1,000km Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia to moderate hikes for around five hours a day in the Tasmanian wilderness. Just don't forget that this is a holiday, so take your time to enjoy the scenery, learn more about aboriginal cultural heritage, and spot native species of flora and fauna, rather than opting for a head-down uphill slog that will just leave you red-necked and sweaty.
Is it dangerous to walk in Australia?
It's not dangerous if you’re prepared. The dangers have nothing to do with spiders and snakes – they’re more related to sunstroke and taking on a trail without the appropriate maps and notes. Water, food and weather protection are vital, as are solid walking boots and sensible clothing. Australia is a very safe country to walk in as long as you’ve made the right plans before you set off.Best time to go on a

Brett Neagle from our Australia walking tour operator Auswalk says:
“Aussie winters are much the same as the Spanish version – pretty mild – so we are sending people off in June to do the Great Ocean Walk and are confident that they'll be OK.”
