Talk:Hiking and bushwalking in Australia

I think I still prefer the current, but maybe that's because I'm obsessed with the alpine hiking trails, and I'd like another opinion. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 09:26, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * They are all good. I prefer #3 for image depth. /Yvwv (talk) 13:00, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * They are all good. I prefer #5 (or #4) as it shows forest. However my only experience of hiking in Australia was in Tasmania a long time ago, so I don't know if #0, #2 or #3 is more representative of a typical walk. AlasdairW (talk) 20:42, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I've never been to Australia, but I actually prefer all of the alternates to 0. My favorite is definitely 5, followed by 4, 1 (though that's probably an atypical scene in Australia), 2 (but is it big enough?), 3 and 0. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:31, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I just realised that two was too small so I guess that's out. 1 can probably be used when I start a Hiking in the Australian Alps article, or even replace the current banner used on Australian Alps (which is also used on Alpine National Park) SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:18, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 0 ended up finding good use on the Overland Track. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 07:06, 8 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I've never been to Australia, but I like #4 best. ChubbyWimbus (talk) 12:19, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Hiking trails that Wikivoyage does not have articles for
I'm using this as a checklist for popular hiking trails across Australia that we don't have articles for. Pinging you since I'm not well-versed with many of South Australia's hiking trails plus rail trails across the country (except in the Sydney + surrounds area).

Interstate Intrastate
 * Australian Alps Walking Track (QLD–VIC via NSW)
 * Bicentennial National Trail (ACT–VIC via NSW)
 * Heysen Trail (SA)
 * Bibbulmun Track (WA)
 * Mawson Trail (SA)
 * South Coast Trail (TAS)
 * Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail (QLD)
 * Old Great North Road (NSW; world-heritage section in Dharug National Park)
 * Great North Walk (NSW)
 * Great South West Walk (VIC)
 * Three Capes Track (TAS)
 * Tasmanian Trail (TAS)

Could you add any that I missed to this list? -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 08:47, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * It's also worth noting that I forgot to add some small but significant hiking trails as I can't remember any on the top of my head, but please do add any (if they exist). SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 08:51, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I haven't gone that far into the Outback but the Clare Valley has a rail trail called the Riesling Trail. And there's the Coast to Vines Rail Trail that takes you into McLaren Vale. I can't think of anymore at the top of my head now. The dog2 (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Kokoda Track?
I realise it is not in Oz, but should the article link to it? Pashley (talk) 22:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Lol – it was in 'Straya, and many of the hikers who do traverse the Kokoda are 'Strayans, but it definitely isn't in 'Straya anymore. I guess a one-liner in Hiking and bushwalking in Australia makes a lot of sense considering the context. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 09:20, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Added. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 11:00, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
