Quick, strike a pose! 😄 Did you know the wombat’s closest relative is in fact the koala? Observe these 'cuddly' creatures on our active holidays to Maria Island – often described as Tasmania’s Noah’s Ark, where Tasmanian devils, Cape Barren geese and kangaroos also call the island home. 📷: Will Rafferty #wombats #wildlife #nature #animalphotography #discovertasmania #mariaisland #animallover #animalplanet #tasmaniagram @wombatsoftasmania

While many of us can't travel, the #LarapintaTrail is definitely one destination to keep on your radar down the track 👀 'Thank you World Expeditions for a spectacular trip. If you can possibly slip in a break to the Northern Territory (Australia), do it NOW. World Ex are still doing tours throughout September and you may never have the opportunity to experience the NT in such solitude, ever again. Even more amazing than ever when you have it all to yourself. '...The gorges and waterholes are empty, the trails are lonely and special... They run a fantastic experience.' Cheers Cathy for the lovely review! She recently completed the Classic Larapinta Trek in Comfort with us. 📷: @cathyfinchphotography

Call out to our followers – Fellow adventurer Tim is seeking out the three trekkers who he travelled with on the Trans Zanskar trek back in 1984 with guide Ishey Namgyal. Get in touch if that's you. In the meantime, enjoy these '80s #throwback shots from our Indian Himalayan expert, @garryweare. Fun fact: Distinguished guide, Ishey, soon became chief vet in Ladakh, head of the SOS who run the @australianhimalayanfoundation training camps for traditional medical practioners (amchi) in Zanskar and was recently elected as the first mayor of Leh! #tbt #throwbackthursday #indianhimalayas #himalayas #trekking #zanskar #mountainlife #ladakh #incredibleindia #adventuretravel #thoughtfultravel

Home to over 180 unique species of birds, Central Australia offers opportunities to spot highly specialised species, like these Spinifex Pigeons! If you're bit of a birder or simply a nature lover, consider taking a guided walk with us on the Larapinta Trail which stay at our multi award-winning and comfortable eco camps. 📷: Earle Westbury #birding #wildlife #larapintatrail #redcentre #centralaustralia #downunder #walkingtour #birdwatching #birder #nature #thoughtfultravel #ecocamping

@timmacartneysnape is an Australian mountaineering legend. He's climbed Everest twice (he was one of the first two Australians to climb it) - each time without Sherpa support. He's now sharing his unrivalled mountain knowledge on a special 8-day alpine and mountaineering skills course taking place where he honed his skills, the Snowy Mountains. Visit our website for details and to book. @lachlan_gardiner @snowymountainsnsw #mountaineering #alpineskills #alpinism #timmacartneysnape #climbing

Imagine walking through a maze of 350 million-year-old beehive-like rock formations 🤩The dramatic scenery and spectacular canyons of Western Australia's Bungle Bungle range make it one of the most unique and remote natural wonders Down Under. Make sure you add our Bungle Bungles Piccaninny Gorge Trek to your #adventurelist.

Two years ago today, our Peak Lenin team scaled the summit of the second highest mountain in Central Asia's Pamir mountain range (7134 metres) ✊ While Peak Lenin is not a technical mountain, the challenge for climbers is to properly acclimatise and manage a very long summit day. Picture more than 1000 vertical metres over 5.5 kilometres from Camp 3 to the summit! A solid effort from the team. #throwback #tbt #mountaineering

If you want to go truly remote, you’ll need to earn it. Full pack carrying trips offer freedom and flexibility, but you need to be ready to carry around 15kgs of gear on your back for multiple days. If you’re up for it then #Tasmania’s Walls of Jerusalem trek could be up your alley. Remote alpine herb fields, highland lakes and glacial moraines await! Experience it from 3 to 6 days, guided or self-guided. 📷: Caro Ryan

If you’re a new player wishing to hit the trails for the first time, here's a #geartip to live by: quality socks are essential! Many trekkers prefer to wear a liner sock under a heavier hiking sock to wick moisture and keep the foot dry. Try a merino wool or polypropylene liner in cold conditions or a Coolmax liner for warm to hot conditions. Image taken on our Gros Morne Adventure in #Canada.
