Explore the Outdoors with the All-New Trail Hiking Australia Website
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the redesigned Trail Hiking Australia website—a game-changing resource for outdoor enthusiasts across the nation.
Originally launched in 2015, Trail Hiking Australia has grown from humble beginnings into one of the most comprehensive and widely used trail websites in Australia. With over 60,000 visitors each month, the platform has become a trusted guide for discovering everything from short nature walks to epic multi-day adventures.
Darren Edwards, the founder of Trail Hiking Australia, created the site out of a deep personal connection to the healing power of nature.
“A few years ago, my mental health really took a beating. Being outdoors, away from all the noise, made all the difference for me. Hiking literally saved my life. I started this website to help others who might also benefit from the peace and joy of nature,” Darren shared.
The all-new site offers an impressive database of over 3,200 trails across Australia, complemented by 300 articles to help users get started, prepare for adventures, stay safe, and hone essential skills.
Key Features of the New Site:
- Enhanced Search Functionality: Filter trails by destination, length, duration, style, or difficulty. Use the interactive map to find trails near you or search by park or trail name.
- All Abilities Trails: Easily discover trails designed for walkers of all abilities.
- Personalised Experience: Create a profile, save favourite trails, compare options, and contribute by uploading photos, GPX files, or adding new trails.
- Trip Intentions Form: A vital safety tool to let others know your plans and make search and rescue efforts easier if needed—a feature informed by Darren’s experience as an SES search and rescue volunteer.
Trail Hiking Australia isn’t just a website; it’s a labour of love. Darren has invested countless hours and resources to ensure the platform remains a free and valuable community service.
“I’ve received so many messages from people saying the site has helped them through tough times. That makes all the effort worth it,” Darren said.
Whether you’re into hiking, trail running, or mountain biking, the new Trail Hiking Australia website has something for every adventurer. Explore over 3,200 trails, get inspired, and rediscover the outdoors.
