25.01.2022 Our Magical and Authentic Morocco Adventure is running again in September. We are keeping in contact with all our international operators to ensure that we are taking all possible precautions against the coronavirus and we just received this video from Ibrahim, the son of Ibrahim our local operator, to let us know that all is well in Morocco at the moment.

24.01.2022 Andalusia in the south of Spain is one of those must-see destinations that you just need to walk through to appreciate. We only have two vacant spots on our Andalusian Coast to Coast Walk the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Yes, it’s a walking holiday but it’s also about enjoying the culture, the food and the history of this unique area in Spain. Interested? Just click on this link for all the details https://takeawalk.com.au/guided-walking-ho/andalusia-spain/

23.01.2022 Looking for a good walk coming out of isolation. This is an ideal time to complete the fabulous Green Gully Track, a ‘hut to hut’ walk in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, near Armidale, NSW. This walk attracts heaps of people every year so bookings are essential. You’ll get to spend every night in a hut the middle hut even has a hot shower. Luxury! By bushwalking standards anyway. If you are keen to do this walk, just go to our website, shoot us an email and we’ll send you the track notes and sketch maps. Happy walking. John and Lyn www.takeawalk.com.au

23.01.2022 After a balloon flight over the Serengeti and an ultralight over Victoria Falls the next best thing was a glider flight from Boonah taking in the sights of the Scenic Rim. It was great to have an aerial view of all the peaks we have climbed over the years.

23.01.2022 After a 6am start this morning we managed to complete the Mt Mathieson circuit before it got too hot. The hydrotherapy pool is looking good now

21.01.2022 This is a good reminder on how to treat snake bite

20.01.2022 Come with us to Canada in July. Sit on a ledge overlooking Yoho National Park and try to restrict yourself to just one picture! Interested? Go to https://takeawalk.com.au/g/walking-in-the-canadian-rockies/ Check out the itinerary, then let us know that you’d like to join our group. All the details are on the website www.takeawalk.com.au

20.01.2022 We are still getting lots’ of enquiries about the three stages of the Australian Alps Walking Track, so we have put several photo’s from the first stage of the track on our website. That’s 235km from Walhalla to Mt Hotham. We will add pics for the next two stages over the next week or so. Just go to the AAWT page ( https://takeawalk.com.au/australian-alps-walking-track/ ) and click the Walhalla to Mt Hotham link.

19.01.2022 When you are planning your AAWT trek, just keep in mind there is some discrepancy about the total distance of the track. The ‘official’ distance is generally stated as 650km. Our friends John and Monica Chapman say it’s 659.6km, and we reckon it’s 671.8km. Both books are in pretty much in sync until the start of our Stage 3 at Dead Horse Gap, but after checking the whole route with GPS and our topo map software, we reckon our distances are spot on. But at the end of 42 days, if you follow our itinerary, the extra 10km should not cause you any grief. Happy planning. Hopefully the route will all be reopened soon.

16.01.2022 Not sure where to find these magnificent Antarctic beech trees. Just grab a copy of Take A Walk in South East Queensland and head up to Lamington National Park. Check out the walk on page 224 before you go.

16.01.2022 Have you ever wanted to visit Magical and Authentic Morocco. Our 2020 trip is a guaranteed departure.

15.01.2022 A nice easy walk out along the Winder Track in Main Range NP. Not a lot has changed in the last 10 years

13.01.2022 We have just added images of our walk on stage three of the AAWT Thredbo to Tharwa Visitor Centre, Canberra. https://takeawalk.com.au/australian-alps-walking-track/ Many sections of the track are still closed after the fires, but you can still start thinking about your preparation for the best long-distance walk in Australia. You won’t be sorry! Track notes for the complete track are available in Take A Walk in Kosciuszko National Park.

13.01.2022 Cuba - our brand new destination for 2021. And sixty years after the revolution, there is still a façade of vintage cars, swinging neon signs and traditional ba...rber shops but behind the scenes there is a rich culture, incredible beaches and exceptional beauty. Join us as we travel the full length of the island from Santiago de Cuba in the south, to Havana in the north. For all the details, go to https://takeawalk.com.au/guided-walking-holidays/ See more

12.01.2022 Dominic Chaplin was sitting down after a walk along Davies Creek Road when this magnificent creature strolled past! Thankfully he had his camera on hand to capture these beautiful photos. : Dominic Chaplin

12.01.2022 We have had a lot of inquiries lately about our track notes on planning for the AAWT, so we are working on a series of pictures for the whole walk. They will be on our website soon. The images will be grouped into the three sections that we use in our book, that’s Section 1 Walhalla to Mt Hotham Section 2 Mt Hotham to Thredbo Section 3 Thredbo to Canberra... Our Take A Walk book has all the details relating to planning, food drop points, potential campsites and water points.

12.01.2022 If you are stuck at home wondering about just what you'll do when the social distancing is over and you can travel, and get out and do a great walk somewhere, you should consider the 1000 km Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia. Just go to youtube.com/takeawalkadventures and click on the Bibbulmun Track thumbnail. You might want to get a cup of tea (or a beer) first. Enjoy!

08.01.2022 We’ll be allowed to travel interstate soon so it’s time to plan your Northern Territory adventure. The Larapinta Trail will be a fantastic getaway after being cooped up for so long. This has to be one of the best walks in Australia. Download Take A Walk in Northern Territory’s National Parks to start the virtual stage of your next adventure.

08.01.2022 It was great to see so much water in West Canungra Creek today in Lamington National Park. There are two ways to get to explore more of the great parks that are still open in South East Queensland. 1.Buy a copy of our book, Take A Walk in South East Queensland or 2. Join a bushwalking club. There are several bushwalking clubs that will welcome you as a new member and you’ll learn all you need to know about bushwalking in the company of like-minded people. Check out these l...inks, or Google bushwalking clubs in your location https://sites.google.com/site/goldcoastbushwalker/ https://sites.google.com/site/qldbwc/ https://www.brisbanebushwalkers.org.au/ http://www.redlandbushwalkers.org.au/ http://www.bcbc.bwq.org.au/ https://bushies.org.au/ See more

04.01.2022 Have you ever had the sole fall off your hiking boots? Chances are that the boots had a polyurethane moulded sole and you hadn’t worn the boots much at all. That sounds a bit counter intuitive but if you leave your boots in a shoe-box, or in cupboard for months at a time, there’s a good chance that a chemical process called hydrolysis will cause the soles to disintegrate. This problem occurs with many expensive, well known brands so it’s not a cheapness issue. If you wear you...r boots regularly, the problem is less likely to occur. So, if you are planning to join one of our Take A Walk Adventures walking holidays (or set out on a multi-day hike in Australia) and your boots are more than four to five years old, you should replace them. So, don’t buy two pairs of boots at a sale and leave one pair in the cupboard until the first pair wears out. Chances are that the second pair will wear out without ever being worn.

03.01.2022 It’s great to see so much water at The Junction in Girraween National Park. Underground River was raging

03.01.2022 2020 has certainly been a very different year and its effects have been felt by bushwalkers all throughout Australia. First we had the horrific fires; then came the floods, and now coronavirus. But the resilient Australian bush is coming to life and we're gradually being able to leave our four walls and venture out. The bushwalking community is becoming excited about the possibility of walking in our natural places. So, collect one of our Take A Walk books and make plans for when you can escape to the bush. For all the details, just go to www.takeawalk.com.au
