Australia Hiking Guide, Backpacker Paradise Australia Beautiful Hiking Routes Recommended

Preface

Australia is known as a backpacker's paradise, with its vast landmass and sparse population, and its unique landscape offers a unique experience for hiking enthusiasts. Thousands of planned hiking trails are spread across the country, and hiking is always a top priority on any city, town, or national park tourism website.

This sheep-back country offers many truly epic hikes, a practice as old as early man himself. By abandoning cars, planes and trains, we are on the same playing field as our ancestors, allowing us to see the world through their eyes.

NO.1 Sydney Coastline Walk, Australia

The Sydney Coastline Walk is 94 kilometers long, stretching from Barrenjoey Beach in the north to the golden sands of Cronulla, passing through the city center via the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The Sydney Coastline Walk is the best way to explore the history and natural beauty of Sydney and its surrounding areas. It is also a walking route that allows people to understand the history of Sydney, and there are many monuments along the way that record Sydney's Aboriginal and colonial history.

Hiking this route is like walking through Sydney's history. The striking headlands, sandstone cliffs, golden beaches, hidden bays, lush lagoons, and dense native bushland all make this coastline a unique place to be.

Tips:

English name: SYDNEY'S GREAT COASTAL

Location: East coastline from Barrenjoey National Park to Coronula, New South Wales, Australia

Mileage: Approximately 104 kilometers

Best time for hiking: October to April

NO.2 Australian Road Passage

The road passage is located on Tasmania, a heart-shaped island close to Antarctica. It is just a primitive, desolate but interesting hiking route.

The 65-kilometer journey from Ronnie Creek in Cradle Mountain in the north to the northern section of Lake St. Clair is enough to feast your eyes, and you can then choose to take a boat across Australia's deepest lake.

The route takes you through the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The wooden boardwalk is hidden in the bushes. During the hike, there is less fear of the unknown. You just need to feel the boundless wilderness with your heart and look out at the steep peaks under the action of glaciers and the skyline outlined by eucalyptus forests in the distance.

Tips:

English name: OVERLAND TRACK

Location: From Roman Creek in Cradle Mountain National Park to Moon Bay in Lake St. Clair National Park, Tasmania, Australia

Mileage: about 80 kilometers

Best time for hiking: October to May

NO.3 Bibbomun Trail, Australia

The Beamon Track is one of the world's great long-distance walks, running for nearly 1,000 kilometres through beautiful parkland between Perth and Albany, passing towering forests, mist-shrouded valleys, giant granite peaks and stunning coastal wilderness. It stretches between Calamitya in the hills outside Perth and the historic town of Albany on the South Coast.

The Beamon Track's hiking route primarily offers an intrusive wilderness experience. This first-class hiking route passes through towering ancient forests, tranquil wilderness and wild beaches. The golden snake symbol representing the trail will guide you to complete this long route.

Tips:

English name: BIBBULMUN TRACK

Location: Between Perth and Albany in southern Western Australia, Australia

Mileage: 1000 kilometers

Best time to hike: September to November

NO.4 Australia Uluru Footpath

Uluru, located about 467 kilometers west of Alice Springs, resembles an orange iceberg like a volcano in the Australian outback.

Wander around Australia's massive red rocks and immerse yourself in Aboriginal fantasy stories.

A 10.5-kilometer hike around the base of the rock reveals these geological features and the cast of characters behind them: the ancestral snakes Lilu and Kunia, the rabbit-kangaroo Mara, and the demon dog Kupanga. From the Mara parking lot, the flat dirt road continues clockwise, walking among acacias, redwoods, rock paintings, and Aboriginal legends.

Tips:

English name: ULURU BASE WLAK

Location: Northern Territory, Australia

Mileage: 10.5 km

Best time for hiking: April-May, August-September

No.5 Hume and Howell Walk

Explorers Hamilton Hume and William Howell entered uncharted territory in the Australian bush on October 3, 1824. Their adventure marked the first time they had crossed the bush of southeastern Australia.

Over 16 weeks, they hiked over 1,900 kilometers and discovered some of Australasia's most fertile agricultural land. The Hume and Howell Track was created to commemorate this adventure. This 440-kilometer trail only retraces the New South Wales portion of the route, from Yass to Albury, but it's still a spectacular sight. There are 17 campsites along the trail, and some locations offer shortcuts to towns offering accommodation.

Tips:

English name: HUME AND HOVEL WALKING TRACK
