Hey there, welcome to the adventure!
If you've just joined my channel let me introduce myself. My name's Laura and I'm an Aussie traveller, hiker, beach goer and adventure lover from North Coast NSW.
On my channel you'll find some of my favorite locations, adventures, reviews, tips and a bit on what I've been getting up to as I hike and solo travel my way around Australia.

Thanks for documenting your journey. How did you find this track when compared to the Larapinta? Obvioulsy its a different climate, but how did it compare from a planning, logistics, camps, navigation etc. It would be good to get your insights.
Did you travel solo? I am planning to do solo trip there. How was your experience? Please do share.
At 13:36 of the video, who's that cute little creature hopping by in the background? Also, thank you for the super informative video!
very well done, beautifull images and awesome trek. thanks.
Hey Laura, thank you for coming. Hope you had fun. Stay safe. It's getting weird out there. 🖤
Although you got to see Waterloo you unfortunately missed out on the best section, which, in my opinion , is Sealers Cove to Waterloo. You'll have to put it back in your list 😋
Impressed by the great attitude and positivity throughout... keep smiling.
Thank you SO MUCH from the U.S.! I thought I would have to trade in my Hyundai Veloster for an SUV or even a Class B or C but your setup has inspired me! One question: have you ever considered an SUV tent or hatchback tent? Why or why not?
hello, would you recommend buying a car in australia, even though i am keen on doing a couple of long distance hikes? is it hard to find safe spots to leave your car for the duration of the hike? if you could go back, would you buy a car in aussie again? thanks and all the best, fabian
The "green tunnel" at 25:00 is Bossiaea aquifolium, aka 'waterbush'. Very common understorey species in the jarrah forest and very unpleasant to walk through after rain.
What time of year did you go? I am planning a trip. Is there any advice?
😂😂😂😂
Why you always smile in a weird way?
This was lovely to enjoy and thank you. Spending time like this with your parents is such a privilege for all of you. For many years, I camped and hiked with my parents and sister as a kid, and in later years with them and my own children now, right up until we lost dad last year. Mum and dad had countless great outdoor travels all over Aust and your joyful adventure brought back many wonderful memories. So, thank you - beautifully filmed and produced! Do you guys ever stop smiling?? Watching you all makes us very happy. Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave and family
This trail has been on my to-do list for a few years now - long journey from the UK though! It looks incredibly similar to the Arizona Trail, which I hiked (and loved) a few years ago. Thanks for sharing!
👍❤
Brilliant!! Love how you have responded to comments. ❤
Wow, Laura, what an amazing walk! You really did smash out those kms!!! Enjoyed your very informative commentary, and footage is excellent. You must be super fit!! Such an inspiration. Would love to know more about what gear you used (esp boots!), how you packed up your kit, and any pros & cons you found with your gear. I was wondering what all that water did to your feet!
Thanks Laura, for this wonderful vlog. Mt Buffalo holds a special place in my heart so it was lovely to be treated to views I haven't seen for many years, and see some places I hadn't been. My 1st visit to the snow (from WA) was in 1981 to Tatra/Cresta. In 1982 we hiked across the plain to Dicksons Falls and enjoyed spectacular views. Leigh Kennedy also arranged a BBQ and X-country hike towards The Horn & it was great having lessons on the "skinny-skis"! Your filming and information were fabulous!
Loved watching this. I had a similar experience with a school group at Monadnocks. I actually emailed the school about the student conduct. Those poor Teachers were exhausted dealing with the behaviour.
Absolutely amazing and so brave
Any crocodiles?
😂. Just a few. 🐊🖤
Awesome video Laura.. Just finished Larapinta with alot of tips from one of your other videos. This vid is giving me itchy feet again. Thanks
I love your dad’s long line rain coat. Those are as rare as hen’s teeth these days
I have berm watching your hiking videos and this is the one i really looking forward to watch as i need lots of info for me about the overnight hiking gear also planning to go with my husband and my 9 year old daughter in the warmer months. Thanks so much Laura Keep safe ❤
Absolutely beautiful but worried about u at the same time XOXO
Solo hiking is dangerous.
Great video Laura, I climbed Mt Sondor a couple of years back for sunrise and it looked exactly like your video so brought back nice memories. Any plans to do the Jatbula trail? This is one I've been considering for some time.
I have just started getting back into hiking, kayaking, camping etc again after a long layoff (kids, work etc) and have also done alot of bush work as an exploration geologist in several states. Was great to get some more tips about planning and new gear (obviously a little different given I am a 6'2" guy) but still the knowledge can be translated as I am keen to start doing some longer trips than just a couple of days that I have experienced so far. If you ever need any assistance with future food drops, ideas etc for the Victorian high country (especially the far NE Vic section, let me know, more than happy to provide some knowledge or arrange some local help. keep up the great adventures and I am loving the content as you have completed a number of walks I am very keen to do when I get a chance.
What an amazing adventure on Tasmania’s Three Capes Track! The ‘Free Capes’ alternative sounds like a fantastic way to explore this stunning area, especially for those on a budget or who couldn't get a pass. The scenery in Tasman National Park looks absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips on making this beautiful hike accessible. Looking forward to more of your adventures! Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad
Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thanks and congratulations on a fantastic effort.
Have you had any experience attaching a solar panel to the top of your hiking pack?
I did this with the Hobart Botanical Gardens seed bank botanist. We collected seeds along the way for the seed bank. The most amazing walk I have ever done.
Just pulling your leg. You are a brave soul. You show a lot of courage doing what you do.
Hi there...I am heading back out to the Nullarbor in November / December (Fowlers Ba, South Australia...From there to the WA border is an awesome walk. I know a couple who did this trek...NOBODY has film THAT walk though...Look I am 57 years old, not some pervert and for you to achieve that walk you'll need a lot of preparation as help could be 9 to 12 hours away unless the rescue chopper is in Ceduna which it rarely is...Water would be your biggest concern put I could go ahead and place water containers in various locations...I think you are a lovely young woman and I thought I would let you know...Nobody has filmed that trek...I'm Steve...Keep up the great content.
Wow thank you! ❤
First know how to properly training tips to walk 50kms ...kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqOupstrYMi1k6w.htmlsi=oLjPV-BcSIFUg5qw I walked 30kms everyday for 30 days kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5aMvJpvacaqoMY.htmlsi=-eQoK8rytnYXy4Xu
Great video Laura , Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing another track on the wish list. Did well to cover such a long trip in a compact vid, really helpful to get an insight to the conditions and you coped a lot more rain than we usually get! 👍
Your Dad did a great job, clever design and love the simplicity plus versatility of the set up. On version 4 of my 4x4 set up and have done something similar being able to sleep in the vehicle, loving it. Thanks for the run down and enjoy your travels….👍
Thanks for sharing your insights Laura, great tip on the socks and enjoy Campers Pantry too. Was just wondering about toe socks this morning and checked out a Japanese shop with no luck, watched you vid and boom, spot on, will give them a go….👍
I would agree the Ossa is a less technical climb than Cradle Mt. I've been up in thigh deep snow and 6 months later in mid to high 20's temperatures. Observed helicopters lifting the walls of Kia Ora hut in March 2022 from the summit of Ossa. A really good summary of the Overland track. I am scheduled to do a winter reverse trip - Lake St Clair to Cradle in a couple of weeks. Was thinking about pulling out but this video has re-kindled my enthusiasm. Just need the weather to play ball. BTW, it's Hartnett not Hartlett Falls 😀😀
Hi Laura, you really know how to produce great content-absolutely enjoyable and compelling footage. That sure was a tough trail and you seem to take it all in your stride. You must have had some really tough days and moments hiking across so much rock etc. I'm a hiker too and know what it's like to carry a big pack with plenty of water over long tough distances. You are clearly super fit and resilient. Keep up the great work. Kind Regards. Trevor from 'AAWT One Step at A Time' video.
Spectacular indeed, I always learn much about this country from your videos and amazing walks, many thanks for sharing .....
Did you take all your food with you? Are there any places to get water on the way? Thanks.
Have wondered about this trail, thanks for sharing it and well done…👍
I am jealous & love your vibrant smile,hope it goes well.
Can you swim at any of the beaches?
What do you use as a pillow? My cheap one has a hole in it and need to replace to something much better
Great hike and sights, but the permits are a little steep. $600 wow. But maybe it's worth it. Safe travels. 🤠
