Planning a trip to Australia

Welcome to bothfeet. If you are thinking of visiting (or returning to)Australia, and are interested in seeing nature, wildlife and the outdoors at a slower pace then a hiking trip with us could be for you.

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is a beautiful and cosmopolitan city, with an international airport that services many direct flights and services.  All our walks start and end in Melbourne with a minibus pick up from a central city location.  Visit the official Melbourne website if you would like to know more.

Climate for walking

The weather in Melbourne is mild most of the year, which makes it perfect for walking.  The Great Ocean Road is subject to the normal weather conditions of a coastal region, however, most of the time we experience mild days and cool nights.  Click here to see the best time of year to walk.

If you are visiting Australia, our fully inclusive guided walks include the hire of a day pack and a weatherproof jacket to save you having to carry this with you on your trip.

About the regions we walk in

We are based in Melbourne, Australia.  We have two regions we visit:
The Great Ocean Road:  famous for its' coastal scenery and stunning cool climate rainforests.  Normally, this is one of the more popular drives in Australia.  We, however, choose to slow the coast down, and let you really experience it by walking.

Spa Country:  based in Victoria's northwest, this region is famous for its mineral springs, spa waters, gold rush heritage and produce.  A delightful place to walk, where almost every day we follow a river or creek and see first hand a regenerating landscape that is slowly attracting back the native wildlife.

Our walks have regular departures that fit well either before or after a conference programs or travelling to Australia to visit friends and relatives.  Our walks start and end in Melbourne so there's no messing around with getting yourself to the region.  We include the transfers.

Melbourne hosts many major events, and increasingly we have people combine our walks with:
- Melbourne Cup racing carnival (first week of November each year)
- the Australian Open Tennis (starts the middle of January every year)
- the Grand Prix (usually the third week in March each year)
- school holidays - ask about special departures in September, October, December and January that are perfect for children aged 8 and above.  Or book a custom journey for your family.
