Australian Hiker

181-Westward ho!

Show notes

Over Easter 2021 Gill and I headed out towards the Broken Hill region in far western NSW to hike some of the more remote National Parks. Over a period of seven days we drove over 2000km, visited Mutawintji and Mungo National Parks, and did some hikes that we weren’t expecting to be as good as they were; there really are some hidden gems if you know where to look. This episode consists of a series of on road and on trail recordings as well as our summation of the overall trip. Over the coming weeks we will be releasing several trail reviews so keep and eye out for some doozys!
