Simien Mountains & Ras Dashen

The Simien Mountains National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. As a Guide-Operated Route, the landscape is characterized by a massive plateau formed by prehistoric volcanic activity, subsequently eroded into deep precipices, narrow ridges, and sheer drop-offs. The park is home to endemic species, including the Walia ibex and Gelada baboon. The trek culminates at Ras Dashen (4,550 meters). The region is known as the 'Roof of Africa' due to its extensive Afro-alpine moorlands. The final summit involves light scrambling and hand-use.

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.
