Adventure

The main areas I hike are the Budawangs, NSW and Grampians, VIC. 

I love solo hiking and have slowly built my confidence and skills hiking alone and with others. I completed my first solo hike in April 2013 and now many of my adventures are solo. I am a scientist and have brought this questioning and analysis into my hike planning and gear selection.

I also love packrafting and I am rafting the Shoalhaven River, NSW from source to sea (327km).

Some of my solo hikes include:
  • Great South Coast Walk (Sydney to Victoria), NSW, 700km, 25 days (+3 rest days) November 2016. This walk includes the following walks:
    • Royal National Park costal walk, NSW, 30km, 2 days
    • Light to Light walk, NSW, 30km, 2 days
    • Nadgee Howe wilderness walk, NSW/VIC, 55km, 3 days
  • Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, SA, 61km, 5 days, April 2017
  • Larapinta Trail,  NT, 223km, 14days, June 2017
  • Carnarvon Gorge great walk, QLD, 87km circuit, 6 days, September 2017
  • Great South West Walk, VIC, 250km, 13 days, December 2017
  • Jatbula Trail, NT, 62km, 5 days, July 2018
  • Cape to Cape, WA, 135km 6 days, April 2019​
  • Bungonia Gorge Slot Canyon, Day hike, May 2020

I'll write up some trip notes when I get the chance
