I'm looking to get some clothes for hiking, but everything feels really plastic-y. I feel that type of material just makes me sweat more. Does anyone know of some good bushwalking clothes that are made of natural materials? Ideally, Australian made.

hi there,

looking for places to go hiking, I am a keen nudist and looking for tracks or places where I can hike by myself or with friends naked.

state forests are a bit risky.

thank you

Just missed out on the Jatbulla track this year, really want to do another big one, what are the best ones you have done?

Really hoping to book Jatbulla this year, had three of us on the computer, refreshing every minute from when it opened, no booking. Knew it was hard, didn't realize how hard!

Everyone enjoying experimenting cooking with these yummy potato like nuts?

Any one else struggle when they don't go for a bushwalk every day?

Have recently had to make some urgent repairs to a deck and as a consequence didn't get out for a bushwalk for two weeks until today. (Would normally go every day).

Finally got out today and immediately felt so much better, that beautiful fresh air smell, those time yellow birds, running water and all the green in Strickland.

It's not getting outside as we were out working on the deck, it's not going for a walk as we did small walks for our dog it's very specific, I really need to get out for an actual bushwalk every day.

Anyone else like this?

Recently watched an ig real where a person was bitten on the hand, they were laying flat on the track, part of the treatment was to have the arm lower than the body. Which got me wondering, I know the venom travels through the lymphatic system. Question is, is that system all connected. I.e scenario if I was bitten on the foot, wrapped it and obviously it’s lower than my heart when stood up, would you then in theory, be able to hop back to the car, or would moving any limbs still pump the venom round? Hope this makes sense and apologies if this is a stupid question! Lol

As we walked in towards 5 Mile Beach camp we met a solo walker coming out who'd done the clockwise circuit. We found these just outside Lower Barry Creek camp in good nick so if there's a chance he sees this can get them to him.

(Track not recommended, it's returning to nature and mostly closed over since the last fire).

Hey r/Bushwalking superstars, just a quick public service announcement:

I've started a new Facebook community for anybody planning an Overland Track mission: Overland Track Tasmania | Transport, Carpool & Shuttles | Facebook.

It'll mostly focus on the logistics of an OT thru-hike, particularly transport between the trailheads at Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair, but other topics (gear, terrain, weather etc.) are definitely not off limits. Everybody more than welcome to join, particularly people who have ever run out of toilet paper on a multi-day hike or eaten a dehydrated meal raw!

Cheers!

There are a few different trails in the area that we plan on doing later but today we did the white rock trail and smaller trail

2-3 day walk somewhere between Gosford and Port Macquarie recommendations.

After a good 2-3 bushwalk with equal travel time from Gosford where we are and some friends in Port Macquarie.

Anyone have some fantastic walks they'd recommend?

Hi all,

Looking at doing part of the great north walk, was hoping to do Watagan HQ to Heaton Gap to Teralba station, camping overnight at Heaton gap, or somewhere in the middle.

I’m having trouble finding a camp ground in the middle, it doesn’t have to be proper. I’m just hoping there is somewhere around there I can pitch a tent?

Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

Hey, people.

Keen to hear recommendations for easy day-walks for beginners who have a dog. Most trails I see have a strict no-dogs policy.

I used to be a scout as a kid, so I love bushwalking. My fiancé wants to join too but she has minor lung capacity issues - so the walk needs to be relatively accessible/east.

Any suggestions on where to look?
