Support Trail Hiking Australia
I spend a lot of time researching and recording trails, preparing information on preparation, safety, navigation and reviewing gear so that I can improve your hiking experience. A lot of people (over 80,000 users per month) use my site as a go-to resource for their outdoor adventures. I am expanding this site daily to bring you more great trails and hiking information and I definitely can’t do that without your help.
If you are able to offer your support it would go a long way to helping out. All donations I receive go right back into further developing the site for you and other explorers. I keep nothing for myself.
Prefer to support me monthly?
$5 a month goes a long way to help with site development and hosting.
Other ways you can offer support.
If you are unable to contribute financially please share this site on your social media channels or maybe you have a hike or trip report that you would like to contribute. Joining my mailing list is also a great way to get involved. I sent this around the 15th of every month.
Thank you, I really do appreciate your support.

Thank you to everyone who have graciously supported this initiative. I have put a lot of time, energy and money into building this resource and every bit of support received is very mush appreciated.
Hi. I am training for the alpine walking track in early November. I am planning to do a couple of more training walks. We did monda track, black ranges forest yesterday and used your gpx download that was fantastic. I tried to use gpx tracker app to record another trail today but had no luck. Which app do you recommend to use so that I can record trails to add to the site? Cheers fiona
Hi Fiona. Really pleased you found the GPX file useful. I track all my hikes using a SUUNTO GPS. I don’t generally use apps for tracking hikes due to the battery drain on the phone. I have used wikilocs and navionics. I’ve written a few reviews of my favourite apps here: https://www.trailhiking.com.au/navigation/smartphone-trail-navigation/

Tried that in several sites and received nothing.
Dear Trail HIking Australia team,
just like to thank you for your effort and work for building such great website, and also thank you for selflessly sharing hiking tips in an eBook format.
HI Yvonne. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate your kind words and the generous donation I just received from you. This helps a lot. I notice you addressed this to the Trail Hiking Australia team. Sometimes I wish I had a team, I’m afraid it is just me doing all this so your words and contribution really do help as I feel like the hiking community then become part of my team. 🙂
Warm regards, Darren
Hi Darren,
It’s really amazing that it’s all from your work, thanks again. and would like to share
your work with more people, as I myself, as a beginner hiker, have benefit from it a lot.
Best wishes,
Yvonne
Hi Darren, you’ve built an amazing resource in Trailhiking Australia. It’s my reference point when I want to go hiking and when I’m talking to others about going on hikes. I’m happy to support your development work.
Thank you Joe. Still always feels like a work in progress but I love sharing trips and ideas knowing it helps other people. Thanks heaps for your support.
Hi I am trying to donate but I click the next button and nothing happens
Hi Ian. Are you using this page? https://www.trailhiking.com.au/contribute/offer-your-support/
I am thinking maybe you have an ad blocker installed that is preventing the JavaScript from loading.
Yes, that was it
Hi Darren
Think I made a donation ($150) but after the paypal transaction I received a short hex like code from your site and nothing to indicate the payment had cleared.
Can you let me know pls.
