Hi, I’m Dave. With over 50 Inspiration Outdoors walking tours under my boots — including multiple treks through Kangaroo Island, the Flinders Ranges, Tasmania, Kakadu, the Kimberley, and the Larapinta Trail — I’ve been guiding travellers into Australia’s wild heart for the past four years. South Australia is my home turf, and Kangaroo Island is where I feel most connected, having led dozens of small-group walking adventures there.
Before joining the guiding world full-time, I spent two decades in outdoor education, training instructors in bushwalking, canoeing, climbing, and high ropes — plus three years working with the President of Timor Leste and two years in Dubai. I also worked as a mountain bike coach and have a lifelong passion for helping people safely enjoy the outdoors.
Whether it’s leading hikers across the remote coastlines of SA or helping guests uncover the hidden wildlife of Kangaroo Island, I bring a calm, knowledgeable presence and deep respect for Australia’s landscapes to every tour I lead.
Take a look at the South Australian walking tours which i’m passionate about here:
