Lots of walking to get close to nature but always carry only a day pack.
From moderate walks through to challenging full day walks.
The pace is always leisurely to truly experience the varied environments and soak up the atmosphere of the bush.


5 Day Mt. Feathertop Adventure Graded: MODERATE/CHALLENGING 4 nights accommodation. Moderate-challenging walks A classic lodge accommodated alpine walking tour.

	Walking on the roof of Victoria with a lovely balance of short and half day walks, although the highlight is a challenging full day walk to Victoria's second highest peak, Mt. Feathertop (1992m). Wander across alpine meadows with summer wildflowers at your feet, enjoy the stately snowgums, sculptured by the wind and from lofty peaks- gaze across a sea of mountains. The superb ridge-top walk along the Razorback to the summit of Mt. Feathertop and return is tackled as a long day walk (22km), so you do need to be fit. Alpine National Park walking at its best. Carry only a light day pack on this and other walks as our overnight accommodation is in a cosy ski lodge at Dinner Plain Village. Add some interesting local history especially around Omeo and a visit to a boutique winery and you have a really memorable walking holiday. January 12, 2009 5 Days ex. Bairnsdale $1300 5 Days ex.

Walk Victoria’s “Low Country” while parts of the High Country rest and recover from the fires. Croajingolong National Park in far East Gippsland with it’s magnificent wilderness coastline and undisturbed forested foothills is home to a vast array of indigenous plants and animals.

Walking opportunities abound and we will take full advantage of these with days filled with either a combination of shorter walks in succession or a full day walk.

The walks are graded moderate so you need to be reasonably fit.

6 Day Eastern Peaks Walk
Graded: MODERATE/CHALLENGING

3 nights camping and 2 nights accommodation
Moderate - moderately challenging walks.

Experience the magic of the High Country. Gaze across at mountainous wilderness, discover wildlife, dramatic landforms and hear of a rich history.

The Alpine National Park features picturesque sub-alpine snowgum woodlands, open plains and meadows that support a wonderful array of wildflowers in late spring and early summer.

Experience this remote rugged beauty on a number of day walks from a base camp on a sub-alpine plain, complete with bubbling mountain stream. Wander along tracks lined with picturesque snowgums, admire the spring wildflowers and keep watch for signs of wildlife. Some walks are quite energetic, but you always carry a daypack only

The highlight is a full day walk to ascend Mt. Cobberas No 1 at 1838m. Here amongst twisted windswept snowgums, you will enjoy breathtaking mountain scenery and experience solitude and remoteness within the Cobberas Wilderness Area.
