Who says winter is for hibernating? Definitely not us caravaners! While the mercury dips, the adventurer’s spirit doesn’t need to. This winter, why not hitch up your caravan and hit some of the most epic Australian hiking trails? Grab your boots, a warm hat, and let's explore the great outdoors, caravan style!
1. The Overland Track, Tasmania
Brace yourselves for a wintry fairy tale! Tasmania’s Overland Track is the crown jewel of winter hiking. With your caravan parked at Cradle Mountain, embark on a journey through a wonderland of frosty landscapes, ancient forests, and alpine heaths. Don't forget to snap a photo with the iconic Cradle Mountain in the background – it's almost compulsory!
2. The Alpine Walking Track, Victoria
Stretching through the Alpine National Park, this track offers a more challenging trek tailored for the brave and the bold. Starting from a caravan-friendly site near Mount Hotham, you'll traverse snowy plains and rugged mountain peaks. It’s the kind of place where you can yell out "I’m the king of the world!" and actually mean it.
3. Larapinta Trail, Northern Territory
Winter in the Northern Territory? Oh, it’s a thing! The cooler months are the perfect time to explore the Larapinta Trail from the comfort of your caravan parked in Alice Springs. Trek through the West MacDonnell Ranges and experience the dramatic desert landscapes that look like Mars if Mars had kangaroos and breathtaking sunsets.
4. The Thorsborne Trail, Queensland
Located on the mystical Hinchinbrook Island, this trail is for those who like their winter mild and their scenery dramatic. Your caravan waits on the mainland while you conquer this tropical trail. Expect lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and beaches so beautiful you might forget it’s winter.
5. Six Foot Track, New South Wales
Linking the Blue Mountains to Jenolan Caves, this historic track can be a winter wonderland if you catch it at the right time. Park your caravan at Katoomba and step back in time as you walk the path gold miners once trod, surrounded by eucalyptus trees dusted with snow – yes, it does snow in Australia!
