Hiking Trails

Everything we’ve written about specific hiking trails, including trail guides, gear lists, trip reports, FKT content and trail surveys.

The AAWT spans 680 km from Walhalla to Tharwa, offering rugged alpine scenery, remote terrain, historic huts, and true solitude in Australia’s high country.
Kiandra to Kosciuszko (K2K) spans 120 km from Kiandra to Australia’s highest peak, offering a challenging winter expedition with variable snow and weather.
A full winter traverse of the AAWT from Walhalla to Tharwa crosses remote, snow-covered alpine terrain, offering rugged conditions and profound solitude.
Tom and Maddie’s June 2025 winter traverse of the AAWT required three weeks of intensive preparation, gear setup, and resupply planning.
Tom and Maddie’s June 2025 winter AAWT traverse combined snowshoe and ski use, adapting gear to the trail’s variable snow coverage.
When planning your AAWT hike, choosing a NOBO or SOBO route offers different challenges, weather, and logistics considerations.
The AAWT’s remoteness makes resupply challenging, but if food drops aren’t an option, hikers can detour to towns for supplies.
In January and February 2024, we set the self-supported Fastest Known Time (FKT) on New Zealand’s national trail, Te Araroa, completing the ~3030km route in 54 days 14h.
