Australia is too vast to even try to summarise in one sentence.
You can find amazing spots to visit at any time of the year, you just need to know where to go when.
From the humid waterfalls of Southeast Queensland to the desert ranges of Central Australia and remote hiking trails, I focus on exploring with common sense, a bit of skepticism of the inevitable ‘hype’, and with a deep love and appreciation for nature and the quieter spots.

PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTS ACROSS AUSTRALIA
CARNARVON GORGE, CARNARVON NP (QLD)
One of the best national parks in Queensland: Lush vegetation, sandstone cliffs and rock art—totally worth the long road trip.
LARAPINTA TRAIL, TJORITJA NP (NT)
Australia’s premier long-distance hiking trail through desert ranges: Tough and not without pain but incredibly rewarding.
