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).

Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiao Xia) is one of the deepest and most dramatic river canyons in the world. Carved by the roaring Jinsha River (the upper reaches of the Yangtze), the gorge separates the snow-capped peaks of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (5,596m) and the Haba Snow Mountain (5,396m). The world-famous 'High Trail' traverses the steep western slopes of the Haba Snow Mountain, offering dizzying views down to the raging river rapids thousands of meters below. Typically completed over two days, hikers walk along narrow ledges, through bamboo groves, and past remote Naxi ethnic villages, spending the night in legendary hiker hostels perched on the cliff edges.
