Learn to navigate with a map and compass!

The skills of reading a map and using a compass are essential for bushwalking, and having these skills means relying less on your phone and being stuck when it runs out of battery or loses signal.

In this 2 hour session, we cover a range of topics that will give you the basics of how to navigate through the bush. This is a great opportunity to come along, learn the skills, then practice them in a fun way. We will cover a range of topics including compass parts and use, norths, magnetic variation, map legends, contours and scale and much more.

This is a new style of adventure from the TSA team! Enjoy our usual combination of great walking and social atmosphere, and mix it with some local Red Hill produce and a refreshing beverage or two. You’ll get to experience some unexpected delights on this walk where we have managed to combine the best of both local bushland tracks and trails with local wineries to boot! Enjoy a cider paddle, sample some wines and enjoy gourmet morning tea, before heading bush again for your usual social walking. We expect the conversation to be flowing very well. We’ve also planned it so that you have a few km’s of walking before the finish. We have a strict limit of 16 people for this walk so we encourage you to book quick.

Another lovely beginners walk, this time by the beach?

Named after two escaped convicts, Bushrangers Bay is located in Mornington Peninsula. Views include the sea, rocky bays, Cape Schanck lighthouse, and as you head inland you can view farmland and more. You can get the best of both worlds with this walk experiencing stunning views and nature and wildlife spotting along the way.

Trailing through the Banksia forest you may get to spot some Kangaroos, and as you walk closer to the bay you will hear the crashing of waves against the beach. The area has both a little mystery and a lot of beauty surrounding it. The tale of the two bushrangers could even allow for some history lessons along the way if any history buffs join the walk!

Looking for a wonderful day out with your kids during the school holidays. do you want an opportunity to connect with them, watch them explore and have fun, plus know that you can both have an interesting and safe day out in nature?

This is the time to get away from devices, Netflix and all the other excuses to stay indoors. The East-West Trail in the You Yangs is a fantastic beginner walk and perfectly suitable for 8-14 year-olds (this is based on fitness rather than age, if you have a super fit and active 7yo then bring them along). It has enough rocks and steps to keep things interesting but not enough to be daunting!
Then we can head up the steps (which kids love) to Flinders Peak, the highest Mountain in the You Yangs, allowing full panoramic views in every direction by the time you reach the summit. Plus during the walk, we’ll provide plenty of healthy snacks to keep everyone going.

Each Adult ticket includes one free child.
Extra children $25

If you have ever seen pictures of the pristine waters of Wilsons Prom, you know this stunning slice of Victoria is on your ultimate bucket list! The Prom has a true sense of serenity, which dates back to the time it was first settled in the 1800’s. Supplies were brought in every six months, with no communication available to the outside world outside this time.

The Southern Prom walk is one of the most well known 3 day walks in Australia! So therefore it’s a must do bucket list. This walk is three wonderful days of walking, including visiting the southernmost lighthouse on the Australian mainland, and if manageable visiting the most southerly point in Australia (not including tassie of course). The effort you put in gives tremendous rewards with stunning beaches and a true wilderness experience. From the scenery, fresh sea air and sense of achievement, you won’t regret taking on this challenge!

French Island is in the heart of Westernport Bay and offers tranquil surroundings and pristine flora and fauna. With next to no traffic, thousands of koalas and plenty of history this makes for a perfect overnight hike. This trip includes ferry fees, camping permits, professional guides and yummy home cooked food!

Rising steeply from the plains north of Melbourne, the Cathedral Ranges are a prominent sight when travelling north. Visualise sitting atop the peak, gazing out over Victoria’s mountain ranges and feeling euphoric at having made the ascent. This can be you!

After a long steady uphill start, the track turns into a sensational walk up the side of the ranges to Mt Cathedral involving some exposed climbing and very steep ascents. You then carefully make your way along the challenging and rewarding razorback. This very technical track has a few tricky sections where we will be there to lend a hand, plus consistent technical walking. After a yummy healthy lunch and magnificent scenery we start the highly stepped descent back to river level before the flat walk back to the start. You’ll be feeling inspired and proud of your achievements after this exhilarating day out.

This is a GRADE 5 walk.

This is your opportunity to use that fitness. Make this your goal and we’ll help you achieve it. Challenge yourself and bring your fitness to life!

The good old Dandenong Ranges are without a doubt one of Melbourne’s best assets. It’s hard to believe that somewhere so serene and scenic can be so close to the city.

Starting at Woolrich Lookout we will wander down down down the valley, chatting and enjoying the wonderful diversity of 150 species of vegetation of the RJ Hamer Arboretum. (arboretum is a Latin word meaning a place of trees!) We’ll also spend some time at the Dragons Nests! What a place to run around and explore! Rain, hail or shine, bring your raincoats and let’s get outside for the day. With lots of kids and parents, you’ll be in great company and we expect lots of laughs as we then put in some cardio to get back up to the start. To make sure you have the energy we’ll provide a range of nutritious healthy snacks along the way!

We will have two separate walks on the day. The younger kids 5-11 will head off one way while the 11+ kids will walk a slightly longer route. This is a guide and is based more on fitness ability and enthusiasm rather than age.

This is all about starting your goals and doing the little things for yourself, making the most of the coming summer with beaches and rockpools. With our assistance you don’t have to think of a thing. Take in the view across Bass Strait and get yourself in a happy place.

This walk moves from easy gravel paths, along grassy headlands and across two sections of beach and a headland. There are a few hills and plenty of views, however the sand can be soft in sections so prepared for a little bit of slow walking. It can also get hot during summer so bring plenty of water, sunscreen and a big hat. Oh, there are some great rockpools at the end so bring your towel.

We will be surrounded by white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and impressive boulders, a wonderful place and hopefully great weather so we can dip our toes in!
– Drive to our accommodation at Icena Farm
– Dinner and relax

DAY TWO
– Drive to The Gardens and walk the most stunning section of coast, rock pools, orange lichen on rocks reflecting on the azure blue of the ocean. Pearly white sands, oh it’s just lovely! This truly is a Bay of Fires area and we meander along a 3km section enjoy and morning tea on the beach before heading back.
– After lunch and very short drive we set out on the 8km Skeleton Bay circuit walk, where you start on open forest roads and trails allowing you to chat and not have to watch your feet. We then hit the coast and wiggle our way along exploring both coastal forest and rocky outcrops along another excellent section of Tasmanian coastline.
– We will enjoy a leisurely yoga/stretch session to ease out any sore muscles.
– Dinner
– A well deserved wine and cheese tasting

This area is rich in wildflowers and home to some very large kangaroos! Another opportunity to walk soft sandy white beaches and feel the sand between your toes.
– Back to Icena Farmhouse for a mindfulness and wellness nutrition session
– Our last dinner together followed by a free night to sit around and chat or play some board games.

We’ve had some wonderful walks at Wilsons Promontory, and we are going again because its AWESOME.

We would love to show you how amazing this walk is and have strict permit restrictions, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Our overnight walks are fully guided and this moderate grade walk will give you the opportunity to learn more, explore further and push that boundary. We love the outdoors and will create a fun and energetic atmosphere where you can feel comfortable. Plus our usual standard of high quality yummy food this will be your best overnight hike of the season.

Refuge Cove is one the gems of the Prom, with a 16km walk to get there though, this is definitely a walk to test those legs. We start down the centre track before turning east towards the sandy white beach of Waterloo Bay. Cross the little creek and continue up and over the harder section of Kersops Peak. Be rewarded by the awesomely hidden, turquoise waters of Refuge Cove as you make your windy way back down to sea level. Grab a spot to put up your tent amongst the gum trees and quickly get down to the water for a swim.

Day two will begin with some windy trails after leaving Refuge and you are soon rewarded once again by the mighty Sealers Cove beach. This is a truly spectacular beach to sit and have morning tea. Take off your shoes and hopefully nothing more to cross the tidal Sealers Creek, wander the beach in your barefeet and gaze to distant shorelines for this wonderful section of walking.
With your shoes back on, hit some very flat boardwalk before the ascent out of eastern part of the Prom and back over Windy Saddle. Grab a quick lunch before your final few kms of gravel track back to the start. What an epic walk!

Whether you’re training for a seriously steep overseas trek a la Kokoda or Kilimanjaro or just want to complete the best mountain climb close to Melbourne, the Mount Donna Buang Walking Track is for you. Donna Buang boasts enough natural beauty in its own right to guarantee it is a hiking gem that can be done at a leisurely pace. However, shooting up 1170-vertical metres in 9km, the Track comes into its own as a hill training venue.

Overview

Only 40 minutes from Melbourne CBD, this walk leads around the delightful Plently Valley Park-lands and over to the unique Quarry Hills and Granite Hills where we can explore and learn about the constant battle between man and nature on the peri-urban fringes of Melbourne.

Located on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri people, this area provided numerous flow and fauna species that were used for food, medicines, the manufacture of many important cultural items, the construction of temporary shelters, and a permanent source of fresh water. Scarred trees and stone artifact scatters are evidence of the Wurundjeri peoples’ use of the area prior to European settlement.

This is a lovely coastal walk around one of the most famous beaches in Australia! Known for its epic surfing, Bells Beach is a wonderful place to walk as well. Start with us down at Point Addis and walk coastal tracks and discover old mining sites before treading along the flat beaches back to the start. Both a coastal heathland and beach walk combined. This is a great day out and one you could even make a weekend out of by staying somewhere local for the night. What an excellent way to spend a weekend and make some new friends.

This is a new style of adventure from the TSA team! Enjoy our usual combination of great walking and social atmosphere, and mix it with some local Red Hill produce and a refreshing beverage or two. You’ll get to experience some unexpected delights on this walk where we have managed to combine the best of both local bushland tracks and trails with local wineries to boot! Enjoy a cider paddle, sample some wines and enjoy gourmet morning tea, before heading bush again for your usual social walking. We expect the conversation to be flowing very well.

Overview

Mount Macedon is one of the highest peaks in the ranges and you can enjoy magnificent views from the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross and the Camels Hump. We have to work pretty hard to get up to these wonderful views and this will get heart rates up for sure. This walk explores the full length of the Macedon Circuit and is over 17km in length so be prepared for a long day out as this is one of longer walks.

As always TSA will make sure you have all the food, support and encouragement you need to ensure you have a great day and not only achieve your goals but enjoy yourself along the way.
Nice and close to Melbourne this is an easy walk to get to and well worth the day out.

Come and join us and explore this awesome mountain area. Although long, this is not a technical walk and uses well formed trails.

Overview

We are passionate about taking you off the beaten track, creating positive experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.
We are committed to ensuring that our day trips, weekends or tours are unique, attainable, well researched, affordable and tailored for the enjoyment of small groups. Our adventures cater for people from many walks of life, age groups and motivations. We aim to give you the very best of what nature and the outdoors has to offer, leaving you with a smile from ear to ear and a sense of accomplishment.

If you have ever seen pictures of the pristine waters of Wilsons Prom, you know this stunning slice of Victoria is on your ultimate bucket list! The Prom has a true sense of serenity, which dates back to the time it was first settled in the 1800’s. Supplies were brought in every six months, with no communication available to the outside world outside this time.

The Southern Prom walk is one of the most well known 3 day walks in Australia! So therefore it’s a must do bucket list. This walk is three wonderful days of walking, including visiting the southernmost lighthouse on the Australian mainland, and if manageable visiting the most southerly point in australia (not including tassie of course). The effort you put in gives tremendous rewards with stunning beaches and a true wilderness experience. From the scenery, fresh sea air and sense of achievement, you won’t regret taking on this challenge!

Itinerary

Day one:

An 17km walk with a long descent to Sealers Cove and then along the coast to stay at the famous Refuge Cove.

Day two:

Up early today for a long 25km+ walk with some beach, two good climbs and a steep lighthouse visit. If time permits, we will make the trip to the southerly point without rucksacks and then spend the night at Roaring Meg campsite.

Day three:

Back up through the centre of the park including along descent of Martins Hill, before the left turn and the flat but often sandy track out to Oberon Bay and back along the coast into Tidal River to finish the last day.

You will need to carry some of the food yourself, and although it can be a challenging walk at times the landscape will distract you, as will our guides as they coach you through mindfulness techniques for focusing on mind over matter.

If you have done some overnight hikes before, and confident with your fitness this is your next challenge.

The skills of reading a map and using a compass are an essential for bushwalking, and having these skills means relying less on your phone and being stuck when it runs out of battery or loses signal. Knowing the basics will also give you the confidence to be out on your own or tackle a new walk with friends, and will give you the knowledge to start learning more about navigation and the enthusiasm to get out and about.

This training day is for people for people who have done our Map & Compass Navigation Training or those who have basic navigation skills and would like to refresh or upskill.

This event will be held in bushland an hour and a half west of Melbourne where we will build your skills. We will provide a topographic map of the area and a compass (if you don’t have one) and after a briefing to go over some of the basics again and a summary of the walk, we will head off into the bush to test out your skills under the guidance of our instructors. This walk will be a variety of both on and off-track with full reliance on our navigation skills to get to certain pre-marked features and challenges. This isn’t a race or competition, just a fun day out walking through the forest to learn and apply the essential skills of navigation using a map and compass.

Overview

We start from a small carpark on the side of the Great Ocean Road, and wander through the coastal heathland for a while with overarching views of the ocean from a number of vantage points. Our lighthouse destination deserves a bit of exploring before heading down a steep escarpment to the foreshore and making our way back along the beach.

The return walk is anything but dull, with the cliffs on one side and the ocean on the other, we make our way along stunning beaches and amazing rock platforms, picking our way along through as best we can without stepping in one of those shallow puddles! Marine creatures and seashells galore will have you snapping photos throughout the day.


As usual, TSA will provide all your food with a delicious afternoon tea, snacks and slices to ensure your walk is completely satisfying. Plus our wonderful company and support along the way.



This walk is generally flat, there are a few short sections of steep steps and rock walking. It’s a Grade 3.
