As an avid hiker, Reece’s must-have items aren’t a titanium spork, freeze-dried spag bol, or a bivy bag.

Quite the contrary – a beer, book, and hacky sack.

Sonja and Jakob's 1,400km trek across Switzerland was 20 years in the making. Their epic walk wasn’t a single route but a connected network of long-distance trails forming east-west and north-south traverses through some of the most amazing parts of the alpine nation.

'I’ve worn through several pairs of shoes exploring this wild place. A hip-deep bog almost stole one, fumbling hands atop a mountain almost lost another.

Fleet-footed, long-limbed strides have carried me the length and breadth of the island state. Sometimes aching and arduous, other times elated, the kilometres of exploration have accumulated into the thousands. My feet grew two sizes from all of the walking.

I don’t consider myself a hiker – you won’t see me on the trail overburdened and gaitered. I prefer to be light, fast, and free. Despite that, it can’t be argued, exploring Tasmania on foot is the best way to experience it.

Face-to-face with scoparia and sucking mud, you’ll develop an appreciation of this place that can’t be found on the tourist circuit.

I’ve spent hundreds of days in the bush since the less-skilled, mainland-dwelling version of myself was first drawn here by the mountains and reputation of the Overland Track.

That’s four years of remote peaks, solo multi-day hikes, and guiding punters. It’s hard to quantify the learning and growth that experience has provoked; writing this article though, is me attempting to do just that.'

The Dorrigo Great Escarpment Walk is set to be a new four-day 46km hiking trail through the World Heritage-listed Dorrigo National Park and Bindarri National Park.

The Dorrigo Rainforest Centre will also be upgraded and designs are still being worked on.

'The redevelopment of the Rainforest Centre and construction of a multi-day walk will support more visitors to the region, get more people into nature and create 270 local jobs', said Environment Minister, Penny Sharpe.

The trail promises to showcase stunning Gondwanan rainforest, wander through koala country, and immerse walkers in the cultural heritage of the Gumbaynggirr people.

Construction includes the creation of three new purpose-built camps featuring bunk huts, tent platforms, and communal shelters.

No word yet on when the trail is expected to open.
