Tuatapere Hump Ridge Track

The edge of the world. The Hump Ridge Track is a 61km loop that traverses some of New Zealand's most remote and rugged Southern coastline and sub-alpine ridges. Officially designated as a Great Walk in late 2024, it offers a challenging but rewarding 3-day journey. You start at sea level, climb through ancient podocarp forest to the 'Hump'—a sub-alpine ridge with 360-degree views of the Southern Ocean, Fiordland, and Stewart Island—and then descend to cross historic timber viaducts including the massive Percy Burn viaduct, the largest wooden trestle bridge of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

The Thorsborne Trail is a 32km point-to-point trekking route along the eastern coastline of Hinchinbrook Island, within Girringun National Park, Queensland. Running between Ramsay Bay in the north and George Point in the south, the trail traverses a diverse tropical landscape of mangrove systems, granite headlands, and rainforest. Hinchinbrook is an uninhabited wilderness island, accessible only by organized boat transfers from the mainland hubs of Cardwell or Lucinda. The route follows the Hinchinbrook Channel side and the open Coral Sea, passing significant features like Zoe Falls and the granite peaks of Mount Bowen.
