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).

Cap Canaille, situated between the charming ports of Cassis and La Ciotat, features the highest maritime cliffs in France, reaching an altitude of 394 meters. While many experience the 'Route des Crêtes' as a scenic drive, the hiking trails tracing the absolute edge of these ochre and limestone cliffs offer a physically demanding trekking experience. This 15km route follows the rugged coastline, providing continuous views of the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike the white limestone of the nearby Calanques, Cap Canaille is composed of a unique red conglomerate (puddingstone) that glows vividly at sunset. The trail balances steep coastal ridges with a return through the inland garrigue of the Calanques National Park. Note: Compiled from public sources — not a field report.
