Walkabout 2021-2022 Journeys

Dear adventurers, walkers and friends,

We are excited to announce that our newly designed brochure is now on our website. As previously mentioned in our Christmas newsletter, for the first time in 35 years we have decided to forego the hard copy and present our 2021/2022 journeys only virtually.

It has allowed us to be more generous with the number of pages and to let the photography speak for itself. Serjosha Clarke did the design of the brochure and as a photographer, he made sure we were very selective with the choice of our photos.

While our worlds seem to be separated at present, we are now offering more tours in Australia where 35 years ago our Walkabout Gourmet Adventures began.

Graeme is holding the fort in Australia and apart from the Grampians and the Great Ocean Trail and Wilson’s Promontory, we have also brought back Discover Victoria’s High Country, another one of our old favourites. Based in our former hometown of Dinner Plain, we have the opportunity to explore some of Victoria’s magnificent high country.

We have also created some new journeys like our “Best of the West” in Western Australia. On this tour we will explore some of the most beautiful areas in south-west of WA. We walk in the spectacular Torndirrup National Park near Albany, spend time in a luxurious spa retreat in Denmark and walk sections of the famous Bibbulmun Track where we shall wind our way along the coastline discovering idyllic beaches. We experience the tall karri forests of the Pemberton region and enjoy an eco-cruise through the beautiful Walpole Inlet. We explore another famous walking track - the Cape to Cape. Enjoy wine tastings at Leeuwin Estate and Voyager Vineyard in Margaret River.

Another tour we have introduced into our programme is the “Sydney Coastal Gems” walk. We will enjoy beautiful walks in the Ku-ring-gai Chase, Brisbane Water and Bouddi National Parks. We will learn about the rare Broken Bay pearls and discover fascinating aboriginal culture and heritage on a personalised indigenous cultural tour. All this and more whilst staying in 2 amazing hotels - the historic Barrenjoey House at Palm Beach and Bells at Kilcare - a world class 5-star boutique hotel.

Sadly, we had to postpone our Byron & Beyond retreat to March 2022 as Sreejith, our Indian yoga, meditation and reflexology master as well as Gabriela are not able to enter Australia at this present moment due to Covid. It certainly is a wonderful addition to our programme with magical walks, a cooking class, spas and of course our daily retreats in tranquil locations - from the beach, to natural lakes and waterfalls.

We hope you enjoy reading our brochure and dream about where your first journey will take you. We sincerely hope that borders will open up again soon and to finally reunite with you somewhere in this big wide world. Until then, take care and stay safe… we miss you!
