From the bush to the beach to the mountains, our world has a wealth of spectacular scenery, fascinating wildlife and outstanding cultural attractions to delight every hiker. Some people rarely venture beyond the camp ground, but if you go hiking, it can take you to places you cannot reach in your car.

Be enchanted when you see a spider's web glistening with raindrops or a delicate fern or orchid growing robustly beside the track. Enjoy the vista over snow covered mountains or see a eagle soaring overhead.

As well as seeing the wildlife, scenery and special places, you also improve your fitness and ultimately, your health and well-being. Experienced walkers always wear and carry gear to make hiking more comfortable. Always prepare and plan your hike.
