Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin 2010
Destined to become one of the great walks of the world, the Cape to Cape track meanders from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin. Enjoy spectacular cliff top hiking, deserted beaches and magnificent karri trees. This is a challenging walk, made very achievable by carrying only a day pack and returning to comfortable accommodation and great meals every evening.
In spring the wildflowers will astound you, with the hillsides ablaze with purple scaevola and pink pimelia. The sandy patches will reveal an amazing variety of orchids. There is also a chance of seeing whales at this time of year. Dolphins are often sighted surfing the waves, along with the board riders. This is an 8 day trip, with 7 days of walking. Each night walkers return to the same chalet accommodation on the outskirts of Augusta., where you’ll enjoy hot showers, a comfortable bed and great food. The total distance is 135km, or approx 
20km/day. There is a lot of sand and beach walking and a good level of fitness is required, with preparation recommended.

Karijini and The Chichester Ranges May 9-19, 2010
The best part of Western Australia! Karijini is the second largest National Park in WA . Its rocks originated as fine grained sediment on an ancient sea floor 2.5 million years ago. The sediments were rich in iron and silica and over millions of years were changed into hard rock. Sea level changes resulted in rivers cutting through the rock creating the gorges we see today. We’ll have 5 days to explore these gorges, clambering our way over rocks and cooling off with swims in majestic surroundings. [Read more]
