Distance: One way, 680 km HARD and REMOTE
The Australian Alps Walking Track takes you through some Australia’s best hiking country. The views are spectacular.
The hike goes through remote areas and requires special planning. You will need to arrange food and water drops prior to your journey. The area passes through alpine and sub-alpine forests so please avoid hiking in times of extreme fire danger. Water on the trail can be very scarce.
South to North
Most people walk south to north because the guidebook by Chapman goes that way.
Namadgi Visitor Centre has a basis café and can provide reasonably safe, free parking to walkers on the track. However, you should always notify staff.
Walhalla has no public transport and leaving car in the village for 6 to 8 weeks would be at your own risk. The Star hotel offers a shuttle if you stay 2 nights. But we suggest you call them for additional details and cost.
Kiandra is an excellent place for a food drop. Great road access and midway between Dead Horse Gap (Thredbo) and Namadgi.
Best options for a break on the track are Hotham, Falls Creek and Thredbo. All are walking distance from the AAWT.
No Guaranteed Potable Water
There is no guaranteed potable water anywhere on the track. It is all from streams, springs and hut rooves so always treat the water. Horses, humans and carcasses have polluted some of the water sources. Water treatment is essential on this track.
Climate change is impacting the track, so if it is dry season, only rely on the larger marked rivers. Many springs are drying up and cannot be relied on. Carry plenty of water.
The few water tanks on the trail are filled by guttering on a small roof.
Sometimes it is wise to include a water drop with you food drops. It can make all the difference.
Emergency Shelter
We have shown huts on the app. All publicly open huts in the Australian Alps National Parks are designated for temporary ‘Emergency Shelter Only’. Walkers and park visitors are encouraged to be self sufficient in regarding to always carrying their own tent or shelter rather than relying on huts for overnight accommodation, as they may not reach the hut; may not find the hut in poor weather; or it may be overcrowded when they arrive. Generally, suitable tent campsites can be found near-by to most huts.
Basic ‘Caring for huts and respecting heritage’ info can be found here on the Alps website:

Australia, 135 km, Coastal, 6 to 8 Days.
A wild, uninhabited coast line with majestic forests, cliffs, caves, headlands and rocky formations awaits the Cape to Cape hiker. The white sandy beaches, Karri forests, rocky beach side ledges and thundering surf mean this walk is always fun and interesting! It meanders along the whole length of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, which forms the backbone of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park between the lighthouses of Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin in the far south west of Western Australia. The wildflowers in spring are amazing. You will need to do some preparation as uninhabited means small shops with few supplies.

This walk is named after the renowned maritime explorer, George Bass, a man hardly known for walking. In 1797, he set sail from Sydney Cove and encountered this coastline while proving that a stretch of water did separate the mainland from Tasmania. It was a hell of a point to make, given he did it in an open boat only 8.7 metres long. The boat could be powered by its sails or by 6 to 8 oarsmen. It was a very adventurous journey and replicated in 1997, by a team of sailors from Sydney.
