Mainland Australia is little known as a trekking and hiking destination. An advantage of this is that you can often walk for days without seeing another soul - an intense experience of oneself and nature. On the other hand, the lack of infrastructure and the extremes of the climate can be a challenge.

In the Red Centre, we focus on the western MacDonnell Ranges. Our track crosses a central part of this range and is determined by waterholes which the Larapinta Trail connects. These waterholes serve us as campsites. Red sandstone gorges, bizarre rock formations and a glimpse into our earth's ancient history invite us to take our time.

A highlight of our walks in the National Parks of the Gondwana Rainforests is the crossing of New England National Park's wilderness over several days. We descend from the high plateau down the Great Escarpment to the lowland of a remote river valley. During these days, we are completely self-reliant, the track providing the only infrastructure.
The logistics required for trekking tours may be daunting. We offer you two fantastic opportunities to get to know the Australian continent on foot: East Coast and Red Centre or East Coast and Great Barrier Reef, depending on the season.
