End of August hiking trip- which would you do?
I’ve got some time off at the end of August to escape Melbourne winter and spend a 4 day weekend somewhere warmer for some hiking. I was thinking of catching a flight interstate, hiring a car and doing some hikes.
I‘m pretty fit and can comfortably hike 30km a day. I generally prefer day hikes but open to suggestions for some one night camps.
some ideas I’ve had:
Fly to Cairns and do some day hikes around Atherton/Daintree
Fly to Gold Coast and do the Hinterland Great Walk- looking at distances I could camp in Binna Burra and do the walk in 2 days. Logistics of doing it with a car might be hard though.
Fly to Sunshine Coast and do some hinterland walks
Fly to Adelaide and head to the Flinders Ranges- it’s a long drive on the other side however so Friday and Monday would be dedicated purely to travel
Drive to Mallacoota and do some hikes there- long drive but doable for a 4 day weekend. Not sure if it might be a bit too cold in August.
I’ve already got a trip to Sydney/Blue Mountains planned in September and Tassie in October so they’re out.
also open to any other suggestions.
