17.01.2022 At Great Walks Of Australia, we take the environment and sustainability seriously. So we are proud to bring excellent news that Seven Peaks Walk’s Pinetrees Lodge - your homebase for the walk on Lord Howe Island - has just become Australia’s FIRST certified carbon-neutral hotel! Part of the Australian Government’s Climate Action Program, some of the many measures Pinetrees Lodge has implemented include switching to 95% LED lighting, new wiring and switch boards, installing wa...ter saving taps and toilets, installing a state of the art waste water system, reducing waste through worm farms and composting, and reducing food miles by building their own organic market garden. Overall, they’ve reduced their power consumption by 30% and water consumption by 35%, with any other emissions offset through investment in reforestation and habitat conservation programs in Indonesia and Tasmania. As a small family run business, we think Pinetrees Lodge and their commitment to achieving this certification shows incredible leadership in real sustainability and climate impact action. As if walking on one of the world’s most fascinating, beautiful sub-tropical islands wasn’t enough, this is just another good reason why Seven Peaks Walk is one of the world’s most awesome guided hiking experiences.

16.01.2022 The greatest part of being on a Great Walk Of Australia is being able to immerse yourself right in the thick of nature's amazing and endless showcase.
