Australia’s Best Walks

Coastal Cool

Join the supermodels and fitness junkies on one of Australia’s most exhilarating ocean-side tracks, the Bondi to Coogee Walk, a breezy 6-kilometre boardwalk that stretches across the cliffs of eastern Sydney, complete with million-dollar sea views. Breathtaking.

WEAR: Look great, stay comfortable, with these The North Face sneakers.

Outback Adventurer

Mystical, mind-blowing and frankly massive, Uluru is both the country’s ancient spiritual heart and its most awe-inspiring site. Get up close to its beautiful red slopes with a flat 10-kilometre walk around its perimeter – but be sure to set off early to avoid the baking midday heat.

WEAR: Keep the Outback sun at bay with a wide-brimmed hat.

Mountain Lion

Tasmania is a hiker’s paradise thanks to its picturesque rainforests and undulating landscapes, but no walk beats the 2.5-hour circuit through Freycinet National Park from the visitors’ car park to Hazards Beach, taking in otherworldly views of Wineglass Bay along the way.

WEAR: Stay dry in all that wet Tassie weather with a Rains waterproof.

City Slacker

Walking might be about fresh air and getting away from it all, but a three-hour ramble around Melbourne’s laneways with Drinking History Tours tells a different story. This urban hike promises pit stops at hidden bars and unheralded eateries, plus fascinating insights into the city’s history.

WEAR: Pick a top that will keep you looking cool, on the streets and in the bars.
