Doesn’t matter what state you live in. What’s your top overnight hikes for first timers?
My first overnighter was to Curnow’s Hut at Bundaleer along the Heysen Trail and still use this as my go to overnight point. Can be reached from several starting points with various distances from about 10km to more than 25km. The hut can be reached by a relatively flat hike or with plenty of leg work with over 600m elevation and terrain can vary from undulating farm land to pine and eucalyptus plantations.
Hmmm, can’t really recall my first overnighter. Actually I can. It was a short hike in the Lerderderg in Victoria. Followed the start of East Walk along the river to Mine Camp. Stayed there the night then hiked back. It was only around 11ks in total but I had my sons with me who were really young at the time so didn’t want to walk too far. Was an awesome way to spend time with my boys and has led to many more overnighters and multi-day hikes with them.
