I grew up in Sydney, Australia in a family that never went camping or on outdoors adventures. Therefore, it came as somewhat of a surprise to discover bushwalking and camping in my mid 20′s and it fast became somewhat of an obsession. Since then, I’ve become a leader with the Sydney Bush Walkers Club and the Bushwalkers Wilderness Rescue Squad, an affiliate squad of the Volunteer Rescue Association. The outdoors totally changed my life and I’m keen to share my knowledge and stories with others – hoping that they’ll catch the bug too! When I’m not out in the bush, I can be found running a Production and Consultancy company based in Sydney, shooting in remote and logistically tricky locations such as jungles, volcanoes and on the high seas. You can email me at [email protected]. In July 2013, as an avid user of their products for over 10 years, I was delighted to be appointed a Macpac Ambassador.

Experienced outdoorsy person, Hilary, has spent her life adventuring in wild places. Growing up on a farm in rural Victoria set her internal compass to bushwalking and trailrunning from a young age, where a bit of dirt and discomfort is nothing new. A self-confessed accident-prone adventurer, she is skilled in navigation, general bush skills and first aid, which had to take a supporting role when she needed to rely on her friends one cross-country ski trip to Mt Bogong, when her skiis stopped moving forward, but her body didn't. Listen to what happened when Hilary's ski boot turned backwards...

Listen carefully. Welcome to day 2 of the Grampians Peaks Trail at Bugiga campsite. 🏕️

🐦 Last night, dusk covered birds flew toward us from Lake Bellfield, drawing over the skies cover of darkness.

👧 the small family beside us played UNO on the tent platform quietly, devices left at home, as hero mum made the final tweaks to the 3 person tent she’d shouldered from the nearest car park. Their longest hike in camp ever - things they’ll never forget.

⛰️ Mount Rosea looms golden before us - today’s peak - before the down, down, down of the old track to Borough 🛖 and onto our respite at Barri Yulug.

Before all… coffee and pause… with Sydney Bush Walkers

Do you sometimes feel like you've been walking forever? Turns out, us Aussies have been. Although the word 'bushwalking' wasn't used much before 1927, we've been walking in the bush for thousands of years. Here's part 1 of my History of Bushwalking... where we came from, why we love it and some of the stories along the way. https://lotsafreshair.com/2019/07/10/history-of-bushwalking/ Q: Which era or type of bushwalker do you most relate to? Explorer? Romantic? Adventurer? Thinker?

To consider the history of bushwalking in Australia, is to dig into the very essence of who we are as Australians - our character and our nature.

When it comes to gear weight, do you class yourself as lightweight, ultralight, average or a heavyweight backpack kinda person?

Here's my gear review of the Whippa Overland 60L Ultralight pack from the team at Summit Gear .

Their tagline is 'lighter, stronger, better' and through their clever use of tech fabrics, established pack-making know-how, full frame-sheet (yes!) and load lifters, they may have struck gold with this

Day 1 - GPT Central C1 // Putting on our big-girl (and boy) multiday pants again for 9 days of life in the other place. A reminder that this part of the world (some call it Melbourne’s Blue Mountains) deserves more time to explore.
