We all start our hiking journey somewhere; however off-track hiking is not suitable for complete beginner hikers to tackle solo. If you’re really sold on the idea of off-track hiking, go with someone who’s done it before, or pay for a guide. There are plenty of adventure tour guides all over Australia waiting to show you the hidden gems of their national park and share with you a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm along the way. Whether you’re a newbie or have been around the tracks before, there are a few basics to off-track hiking that you should get your head around, before stepping into the untamed wilds of nature.
