Fraser Island (K'gari) Great Walk

The K'gari (Fraser Island) Great Walk is an 8-day through-hike covering approximately 90km point-to-point within the Great Sandy National Park, Queensland. The route traverses often described as one of the largest sand island, moving through diverse ecological zones including high rainforests established on deep-sand substrates, mangrove systems, and freshwater perched lakes. Surface conditions are consistently sand-based, transitioning between consolidated forest paths and uncompacted dune segments. The route provides a cross-section of the island's unique hydrology and mature Satinay (Syncarpia hillii) timber stands. Access is regulated by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS).

Set within Chile's spectacular Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, the Paso Desolación (Desolation Pass) trek showcases the incredible, destructive power of the perfectly-conical Osorno volcano. The classic route runs point-to-point between La Picada and Petrohué; many hikers arrange transport at one end. The day hike traverses barren volcanic ash fields and lava flows, offering a stark contrast to the nearby lush, verdant forests. Along the route, hikers are treated to mesmerizing panoramic views stretching across the emerald-green waters of Lake Todos los Santos and the jagged peaks of Mount Tronador in the distance.
