What's this trip about?

    In true Walking Connection tradition, this adventure is about you connecting with nature, an undisturbed environment and peace. Yet at the same time, you’ll get the satisfaction of a good day’s hiking carrying only your lunch, jacket and camera. Each evening you’ll return to secluded Friendly Beaches Lodge where there are steaming hot showers, deep baths and comfortable beds. Unwind with a glass of wine by the log fire, peruse the library, watch visiting wildlife and enjoy a glass of Tasmanian wine. Each night features a specially prepared delicious, healthy meal with just the right amount of indulgence. Candlelit evenings spent around the dinner table in the good company of your fellow walkers is a definite highlight and our friends at Friendly Beaches Lodge know just how to make your experience perfect. Come Walk With Us!
