Whether you are new to hiking or an experienced in this area - you should sometime visit Australia. The best thing is that you can visit it during winter season in US and Europe, because the summer is hot in January and surfs are up.
Beautiful scenery of those places leaves no one indifferent. Even though most of the continent is desert, rest of it is a huge oasis. Actually quite a few oasises, featuring very wide range of climates from alpine to tropical rainforests.
Australia is well prepared for hikers. There are car parking lots at the trails. Accommodation is thoughtfully placed and the food is quite international: yoghurts, toasts and great coffee. So you'd never have to worry about anything that can interfere with your contact with nature.
There are very exciting and unique things to see in Australia. During your walk you can see some endangered species, diverse scenery ranging from mountains to deserts, farms, wineries and plantations.
You should really see the pine plantations - it's something unforgettable - like a forest that grows way above you and by the night it gets a lot of suspence - can't really desribe that with words - this is something to see.
The swamps and wetlands of Australia are protected by international laws and that's why you should see it, at least once in your life - who knows - they might be gone someday. So why not take a chance to see it now, before it's too late and you are regretting, but it's too late.
One can never describe in words what you can see from a hill in Australia. Well at least I try. Sometimes a beautiful ocean is there beneath your feet - hundreds feet away from you and you can see ocean as wide as your eyes allow you to. Add some beautiful pines to the imaginative scenery, some green grass and little yachts sailing riding the waves. It's a heaven on Earth. Stop for a moment and listen to the wind - that's when your mind completely rests from the troubles of big cities where at best you can see a few dozen feets until your eye catches another building from steel and glass.
If you are in good shape - try to climb some montains in Australia to clean up your mind and lungs. When you are at the top - you fell like a king of the world, where you don't need to rule - you are just one with whole big world.
While you are at Australia - don't miss the opportunity to walk the cities also. Sydney should really be one of them. Amazing city. Lots of great experience and photos are guaranteed.
