Gold Coast Hinterland

The accommodation on this walk was fantastic. The map on the ap was great. The entire walk went very well.

Thank you again Auswalk! Greg and myself thoroughly enjoyed our time trekking in the Gold Coast Hinterland Monday 28th July to Saturday 2nd August. On Thursday 31st July, walking from Binna Burra to O’Reillys was a memorable achievement for both of us. But whatever the day rewarding views and varied forest and bush environments were continuous, around every curve in the track. Lee was new to the walk, but had a broad knowledge of flora and fauna in general. And at all times a very quick, quirky sense of humour! Whatever our destination either by car or foot I always felt confident that Georgie, our hard working, efficient and experienced leader, would deliver us safely. We always look forward to the set of photos taken by leaders. They are much superior to our own! Thank you for organising the cake and song for my birthday. A little embarrassing but a nice touch! In appreciation as always

An opportunity to walk in World Heritage listed rainforest featuring ancient trees, spectacular waterfalls and rare birds. Accommodation at Binna Burra and Mouse’s House was a standout.

The Gold Coast Hinterland is a marvelous locations for walking, offering great tracks and fantastic scenery with many waterfalls. I will be definitely looking at other trips with Auswalk in the future.

I had a fabulous time and would highly recommend it. The guides were excellent, both professional and approachable. It was my third one with Georgie and it great to meet Lee and I appreciated his humour.

I was very happy with all aspects of my walk. Both guides, Lee and Georgie were delightful and excellent leaders. We all enjoyed their company and felt safe on all of the walks. I will definitely do another AUSWALK, but I’m. It sure which one yet.

I have just completed the Gold Coast Hinterland 6 day guided Auswalk led by Katie and Georgie. It is a spectacular area, ancient, lush and green, waterfalls and streams , forest bathing at its best. The trails were not too difficult but multi day walking requires some stamina and the easy/ hard options were available each day. The accommodation is excellent. Our small group of 10 were all friendly and had similar fitness levels. We did encounter a lot of unseasonable rain which made for a slippery, muddy track but with the right rain gear and attitude it wasn’t too much of a problem. We saw one elusive dingo and we all became very practised at spotting and removing leeches. I can highly recommend this guided walk.

I have just completed the GOLD COAST HINTERLAND HIGHLIGHTS - 5 DAYS self-guided walking package organised by Auswalk. This was my first experience with Auswalk and everything went very well. Communication was very good and they were really clear about costs and inclusions, and all of the notes and information they provided was accurate and easy to follow. It was great to have all of the details taken care of so all you have to do is show up and walk! The walk itself was a very good intro to the Great Gold Coast Hinterland Walk.

We have done three supported walks with Auswalk, The Flinder’s Ranges and The Gold Cost Hinterland unguided and Larapinta Trail guided. All were well designed, well organised and most enjoyable. We’d be happy to walk with Auswalk again.

I have just completed the Gold Coast Hinterland Walk, solo, as a self-guided option with Auswalks. This is my second walk with Auswalks, and totally exceeded all expectations - absolutely stunning scenery; great variety of walks and surfaces; fantastic food and accommodation that had to be seen to be believed. It was truly a trip of a lifetime - providing the peace and quiet I was after, whilst also knowing that every little detail was taken care of - all I had to do was show up and walk - or not, if I so chose! From the moment I was picked up at the Coolangatta airport, to being delivered to the Nerang Train Station at the end, I never had cause to worry about anything. The trip notes were accurate to a fault; the food was amazing and perfect for walking; and the evening accommodation really was the icing on the cake - amazing locations; superb food, and a very restful night's sleep before the next day's adventure. I was so delighted to have been able to do this on my own and was exactly the holiday I was after - I have returned home to NZ, refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated - and excited about planning my next walk.

I can highly recommend this amazing holiday. The walk was breathtaking and the trip notes were easy to follow and understand , the accommodation was varied and very comfortable, not to mention unique and the food was plentiful and all tastes were catered for. Thankyou Auswalk for a wonderful holiday which was good for my body and soul.

The 7 day Gold Coast Hinterland self guided hike was awesome. I always feel some trepidation heading off alone in unknown areas but the trip notes were detailed and descriptive and with my personal beacon in my pack I felt safe. It was also reassuring to walk in areas described as suitable only for fit and experienced hikers and to discover I could complete these competently. The last few months have been extremely wet and I was faced with challenging days where I negotiated mud and slush and waded through calf deep creeks. This added to the overall enjoyment of the hike - thankfully I had poles, gaiters and plenty of newspaper to dry my boots at the end of the day. The accommodation was amazing and each one different. After hiking from O'Reillys to Binna Burra in non stop rain, the bath in the Sky Lodge was so very welcome - and what brilliant views to enjoy while luxuriating in it. My favourite hikes were those in Springbrook, probably because there were less people around and I had the tracks to myself. Thanks Auswalk for a wonderful experience. Looking forward to the next one
