Exploring Wreck Beach on the Great Ocean Walk, Australia
If you're interested in a walking holiday in Australia, why not speak to one of our Australia specialists directly, or fill in our online quote request form.
Tasmania is one of the best places in Australia for walking holidays and Maria Island, on the east coast, is a place for solitude and reflection, for rejoicing in nature and being enraptured by tales of old.
A guided four day walk here takes in a contrasting landscape that includes rugged coastline, deserted beaches, striking mountains, beautiful forests with abundant wildlife and the former convict settlement of Darlington.
Walking between four to thirteen kilometres per day along beaches and tracks you will need to be relatively fit and healthy.
Your first two nights are spent in environmentally sensitive camps with a final night spent in the colonial splendour of Bernacchi House.
Steeped in history and surrounded by the bounties of nature there is no better place to relax and unwind.

Lamington is a UNESCO World Heritage National Park and lies at the foot of the McPherson Ranges, straddling some of Queensland’s most impressive landscapes.
Less than an hour from Melbourne the richly fertile Yarra Valley is dotted with fruit orchards and flower farms, peppered with vineyards and sheltered by the verdant Dandenong Ranges.
The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park was awarded dual World Heritage status for both ancient culture and its natural attributes, and it is worthwhile for anyone visiting the park to look beyond the rock and learn something of its significance.
