Ten Epic Mountains in Australia You Should Hike at Least Once in Your Life – Concrete Playground

Need some perspective? Grab your hiking boots. There’s no better way to get yourself out of your head (and your altitude) than a good old mountain climb. Australia’s ranges might not have the height and ruggedness of the Himalayas, but they do have snow gums, wildflowers, seemingly infinite space and wallabies.

Spring is the best season for conquering a peak or two. Depending on where you live, you can knock them out on a day trip, conquer one on a weekend away or plan a whole holiday around a climb.

From pristine beaches and bountiful wine regions to alpine hideaways and bustling country towns, Australia has a wealth of places to explore at any time of year.
