This was my first trip with AusWalk and it certainly won’t be my last. Our guides, Georgie and Clare, were both terrific and managed each day’s logistics with good humour and organisation.
They were also, respectively, good company whilst never compromising their guests’ wellbeing and safety. As a reasonably novice hiker, I never felt any pressure to walk at anything other than my own pace and appreciated the option of a less challenging (still incredible) walk each day. This is in stark contrast to a previous trip I had with a different company and I was relieved and pleased to discover that the mantra “it’s about the journey, not the destination” was a reality with Georgie and Clare.
Meals and accommodation provided at Rawnsley Park Station were fine and the station was an excellent choice as a base to rest before the next day’s activities (reviewed separately).
As a solo traveller, I’m always a little apprehensive regarding potential group dynamics but Georgie and Clare were very inclusive, creating a happy group of hikers throughout the trip. That’s not always easy to do, I imagine, but they certainly managed this comfortably and indiscernibly.
Overall, I loved this trip – from my first inquiries and questions to AusWalk through to a wonderful 5 days away, I can’t fault any aspects of it – extraordinary landscapes, good company, and comfortable accommodation made for a wonderful holiday.

Our two guides were friendly and well organised. Everything went smoothly and we had lots of fun.
The walking was challenging but there were several options so you could choose at the level you wanted.
What a fantastic group of people, with so much laughter, conversation, sharing and getting to know each other

We have travelled with AusWalk twice – once on a guided walk in the Flinders Range and the second a self guided walk in the Victoria Alps. Both were excellent – well planned, great walking notes, comfortable accommodation and good meals. On the guided walks the guides were knowledgable of the local area – history and environment – and managed the group well. The walks varied from easy to quite challenging and this was clearly explained by the guides and in the notes. There were no surprises when it came to where we were going and what to expect. The AusWalk staff are excellent – they were able to rearrange our self guided walk to take into account some changes to our circumstances. We will certainly use AusWalk again.

I enjoyed a fabulous walking tour in the Flinders Ranges with Auswalk. Encouraging, interesting, competent guides, and plenty of flexibility with the walks that kept everyone participating. Wonderful countryside. Lovely accommodation and scrumptious food.

This was our second Auswalk, this time to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. It was a great experience – the walking was interesting, and with more than one guide, it’s good that they can sometimes offer harder and easier options. Comfortable accommodation, and great meals – you’ll never go hungry.

We did the Flinders Rangers with Auswalk. The guides were excellent and made sure we had a positive experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking. We had a lovely bunch of people in our group, and the food and accomodation was great.

My wife and I very much enjoyed a week of walking through the Flinders Ranges with Auswalk. The guides (Marie and Merrell) were brilliant – helpful, informative and very professional. The accommodation was comfortable, the food provided was very good (and plentiful) and the walks offered were excellent. Highly recommended.
