Wonder walks

Brace yourselves, intrepid explorers and lovers of the ludicrously picturesque! Great Walks of Australia has decided to throw another log on the fire of their collection of multi-day guided hikes. This time, they’re tempting us with the Flinders Island Walking Adventure In Comfort, operated by none other than the trailblazing Tasmanian Expeditions.

This latest jaunt offers a mishmash of stunning landscapes that could make a Tassie devil weep with joy. It’s a six-day, five-night, day-pack only affair, covering a modest 42 km of what they modestly describe as ‘easy to moderate’ walking. The journey begins with a scenic flight from Bridport, near Launceston.

Liz O’Rourke, the Executive Officer of Great Walks of Australia proclaims, “Rugged, pristine and remote, this gem of a destination is perfect for anyone wanting to get off the beaten track to a unique, undiscovered wild landscape with blockbuster views and feel like you have it nearly all to yourself.”

Tasmanian Expeditions, old hands at this sort of thing, having been in the game since the mid-1970s, are at the helm.
