[ What we do ]
From the Top End to Tassie, from the Bibbulmun to Mt Barney – and all trails in between.
Making Tracks brings together hikers passionate about our beautiful backyard.
With camera in hand and journal at the ready, we want to share our appreciation for our backyard in three ways.
Australia’s unique landscapes and huge biodiversity should be forever incredible. These special places are under the pump, and for every step of inspiration we receive we need to dedicate one to protection.
The maps. The dust. Your gear and food condensed masterfully into your backpack. Where it all begins, overnight on the trail immersed in our big backyard.
Hiking through unique landscapes grants us with incredible opportunities to photograph its beauty. Our collection of photos covers overnight trails, national parks, and simple benefits of nature.
