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.

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.

Lerderderg State Park, with its myriad of tracks, gullies, creeks and ridges form a wild, rugged environment in which we will enjoy our hike. The striking feature of this area is the 300-meter deep gorge that stretches south to the plains of Bacchus Marsh, almost bisecting the park. Our walk winds explores both the winding scenic valleys and ridge-lines plus explores some every unique and interesting gold mining relics. Lerderderg State Park offers a true bush experience and walking is the best way to get to know the park – so join our experienced staff for a fully guided, enjoyable and social day out exploring some wonderful areas.
This walk involves a significant amount of technical walking and requires a little more agility and stability.

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.

Pack more action into your day with this combined experience. If you love walking and you’d like to explore some more of Melbourne with a great paddle down our iconic river then take this opportunity. With the usual Take Shape Adventures’ attention to detail and full support, PLUS all your gear provided and support form the crew at Peak Adventure!
What an opportunity to explore both up and down one of the best sections of urban Melbourne – without feeling as though you’re in the suburbs at all. We’ll take all our special tracks on the walk and you’ll be amazed at how much bushland walking we can find for you. From the well known pathways through to little side tracks and sneaky little shortcuts – we’ll have you well and truly lost in your surroundings in no time. Enjoy a yummy lunch on the banks of the river before going through a quick safety briefing and getting ready to paddle!
You’ll feel safe and secure in our stable sit-on-top boats, and have the complete attention of our certified and experienced guides. Jump on board and practice some strokes before paddling and drifting down the mighty Yarra River. Although it’s right there flowing through our wonderful city, and you’ve all definitely heard of it – to be on it, floating down with the current and seeing for yourself the way it winds through native forest, past some of the biggest houses in Melbourne and chatting about the way we’ve used and abusing it over the years is a great experience for anyone living amongst it’s many tributaries!
No paddling experience is necessary for this event so take this opportunity to join us on something a little different.

Our Favourite! This is definitely one of the best walks within a few hours of Melbourne. A childhood favourite, this walk crosses the Murrindindi River on a swing bridge then quickly starts a moderate but persistent climb towards the large rock slab.
You’ll be mesmerized by this waterfall with its sheet of cascading water that seems to race towards your feet and the waiting rockpool at the base. Continuing up a staircase which ascends the beside the flows, this walk then offers views of the valleys and nearby ranges before taking the steep descent off the other side. Bring some good legs for this one!
As always this is a fully guided walk with all snacks and food, and most importantly a fantastic social day out with great company, leaving you revitalised for the week ahead.
This is a 16km Grade 3 walk with a good climb and a steep descent. Truly wonderful walking.

Although a challenging walk at Grade 4, we can honestly say it is also one of the most rewarding day walks you will do. There is a tiny bit of rock hopping, and for the true adventurer in you we scale over a river holding onto a chain for support.
This may seem daunting but your sense of accomplishment at the end will outweigh any doubts you may have!
Walking through a disused water channel, the trail hugs cliff faces until we reach Needles Beach, where will stop for a well deserved, and very yummy treat of scones, tea and coffee.
This walk will challenge you in new ways if you are feeling comfortable with a grade 2, or even 3, walk. This is definitely one of the best shorter walks we do at Take Shape Adventures, and we are very excited to be sharing it with our community!

Pack more action into your day with this combined experience. If you love walking and you’d like to explore some more of Melbourne with a great paddle down our iconic river then take this opportunity. With the usual Take Shape Adventures’ attention to detail and full support, PLUS all your gear provided and support form the crew at Peak Adventure!
What an opportunity to explore both up and down one of the best sections of urban Melbourne – without feeling as though you’re in the suburbs at all. We’ll take all our special tracks on the walk and you’ll be amazed at how much bushland walking we can find for you. From the well known pathways through to little side tracks and sneaky little shortcuts – we’ll have you well and truly lost in your surroundings in no time. Enjoy a yummy lunch on the banks of the river before going through a quick safety briefing and getting ready to paddle!
You’ll feel safe and secure in our stable sit-on-top boats, and have the complete attention of our certified and experienced guides. Jump on board and practice some strokes before paddling and drifting down the mighty Yarra River. Although it’s right there flowing through our wonderful city, and you’ve all definitely heard of it – to be on it, floating down with the current and seeing for yourself the way it winds through native forest, past some of the biggest houses in Melbourne and chatting about the way we’ve used and abusing it over the years is a great experience for anyone living amongst it’s many tributaries!
No paddling experience is necessary for this event so take this opportunity to join us on something a little different.

Dorothea Mackeller’s iconic poem ‘My Country” described Australia’s ragged mountain ranges as one of our true treasures, and Victoria’s High Country must be the highlight. The backdrop for tales of bushrangers, iconic movies and more, the High Country is a vast area of Victoria just waiting to be explored.
In one of our limited walks by Take Shape Adventures, we will be taking on some iconic high country hiking with the Mount Cobbler walk. After a drive up Friday night, camp at the foothills of the ranges so you can get an early start on the first morning up the challenging climb of Muesli Spur, then spend most of the day wandering along the plateau to our campsite at Lake Cobbler. We’ll grab a swim or just dip your feet in the refreshing waters of Lake Cobbler, then visit the nearby Dandongadale Falls to gaze across massive vista before a yummy lakeside dinner.
Day two begins with an easy climb up to the summit then dump your rucksacks for the short climb to the summit of Mt Cobbler. After morning tea and feeling on top of the world, we’ll grab our bags for some pleasant walking through alpine eucalypts before making the descent down Speculation Track back to the start. The crew at Take Shape Adventures love sharing bush walks such as this with you all. It is truly something special to get out there and achieve something like this, and the sense of accomplishment will leave you buzzing for weeks after and feeling ready to take on any challenge life throws at you.
Although this walk will be a challenge (it is Grade 4 so you will need some bushwalking experience), we make sure you feel as comfortable as possible with a supportive group around you. We provide all the nutritious meals to keep you going along the way, and will teach you mindfulness to make the most out of being outdoors in the stunning high country scenery.

Lake Tali Karng is a hidden jewel nestled deep in the mountains of Gippsland, fed by snowmelt waters of the Wellington Plains. The lake is believed to have been formed about 1500 years ago when a massive rock slide collapsed into the valley damming the waters of Nigothoruk Creek above Wellington River. The water runs underground from the lake to emerge as the infant Wellington River 150m below in the Valley of Destruction.
This route to Lake Tali Karng begins at the third bridge over the Wellington River, about 22 km north of Licola. The route follows the Wellington River upstream for 17 km, crossing the river 16 times. These crossings are just perfect in summer for cooling off the feet and at the higher crossings provide super cool clear water to fill up your drink bottle. Continue past Riggall Spur Track to Clive Lanigan Track which climbs steeply through the Valley of Destruction and onto the Lake.
This is an intermediate-hard walk and although the lake is the destination, the walk along the river is definitely the highlight and we always make the absolute most of this beautiful feature. We camp locally friday night to ensure an early start as the day one walk is a long day. 12km walking up the valley to our campsite and undertake the last section of the walk sans rucksacks.
Suitable for intermediate to experienced hikers, and we can assist with a range of equipment and planning so you don’t have to worry.
This walk is not one for those not afraid of getting wet feet! with up to 16 river crossings as you make your way up to the lake there is plenty of time to take in the magnificent scenery. This is one of those walks that will stay in your memories forever, not an easy walk but oh so rewarding.

Your schedule is full, you are unmotivated and need an energy boost. You want to live an inspiring, fit and well life.

Whether you are a couple or a single person with or without a friend, these weekends are for you! Hike, relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy your time because we have taken care of everything!

Packless hiking is your opportunity to enjoy multiple days on the trail without having to carry a big rucksack or sleep in a tent. You head out in the morning with a small day bag, some water and maybe a jacket and our guides carry your lunch and anything else you may require for the day. Enjoy a lovely lunch with salads, cheese, crackers, fresh fruit and a range of other produce all suited to your dietary requirements. You can then enjoy the rest of your walk and focus on the scenery and the enjoyment of being out on the trail. Tired at the end? Well now you get to stay in bed for the night! This is the wonderful aspect of packless weekends. Enjoy a dinner prepared by our multi-talented crew and then rest well and be ready for the next day on the trail. Could exploring be any better than this?

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!

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.

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!
If you have never done an overnight hike or you’re unsure about carrying a pack, then you really should make the most from this opportunity. We only carry our backpacks for the first 5km, then set up camp and continue with day bags to explore the wilderness and easy tracks around the Island. This short rucksacks carry also means we can afford to take a few more of life’s luxuries or to test gear that you are unfamiliar with. Maybe even something to sit on!
With great proximity to Melbourne, this is an wonderful opportunity to explore a part of Victoria that is not often visited yet offers some of the best walking right on our doorstep.

Don’t worry we have included some down time, plus you will love our social groups and yummy food to digest while you watch the famous Western Australian staircase sunset! With a huge range of activities and sights, you will definitely get the most from your valuable time-off and appreciate how good life is.
So come with us and swim with Whalesharks, snorkel the famous Ningaloo Reef, walk the best sections of the epic Cape to Cape track and enjoy some wine! Don’t make an excuse, get on this trip now and get the most from your time…
Cape to Cape
We start the 9 day adventure with hiking the best sections of the famous Cape to Cape track in southern Western Australia. With 4 big days we cover over 70Km, with shorter options for those that want to take it a little easier. We visit fresh local produce, wineries and explore the lovely towns of the Margaret River area. The walking is on sand, single track and wider tracks and most sections are grade 2-3. There are no big hills but some of the sand is pretty soft! The longest single section is 20km, then some half day walks from 7-15km with our biggest day totalling 26km.
Ningaloo
This incredible tour doesn’t stop there! After a rest night at Perth airport, we meet anyone doing the Ningaloo section of the tour and jump on the plane to Exmouth (flight included) and later that very same day, we will have you snorkelling and kayaking! This tour is now all about what’s in the water…we get to spend a memory filled day snorkelling and swimming with the massive giants of the oceans. Plus many other opportunities to step off the beach straight into pristine coral reefs and an amazing array of colourful fish. We take the opportunity to kayak out to see dolphins and swim with turtles and stingrays. Plus we have added a couple of unexpectedly spectacular short walks to makes this one hell of an adventure.
Packless
Our goal of supporting you on this packless hiking trip allows you to put more of your energy into seven days of walking. With us carrying lunch and all the bits and pieces for the day out, you can walk easier with your day bag and some water, and of course your camera! Then get a great night’s sleep in the accommodation and be ready for the next day feeling refreshed.
With our professional guides and our unique way of filling your days to ensure you get the most out of your time here. So don’t go for a ‘fly and flop’ holiday, get on board with TSA and let us make your holiday be an experience to remember. We promise you will have an amazing time…what more could you ask for?

Take Shape Adventures has partnered with the higly knowledgable and reputable
Eastland Adventures to guide you along the Lemosho route. Widely regarded as the most
dramatic and beautiful route up to Kilimanjaro. It is the most remote and although
becoming more popular, it still traverses some of Kilimanjaro most striking and least
traveled landscapes, including the base of Kibo Peak’s and dramatic south-facing glaciers.
This route has the added benefits of trekking across the Shira Plateau a World Heritage
Site, trekking 180 degrees around the Kilimanjaro massiff, and most importantly this route
allows plenty of time to acclimatize to the high altitude which is paramount to your safety,
comfort, enjoyment and success while trekking mountain Kilimanjaro.

Immerse yourself in the sights, smells and sounds of the real Morocco. This unique, tailor-made trip with a highly experienced local guide touching on the many and varied mysteries that Morocco is renowned for – landscape, activities, culture, history, architecture, atmosphere and cuisine.
The discovery starts in the stunning art deco city of Casablanca and from there we traverse the snow- capped Atlas Mountain peaks and valleys to the Sahara desert, before continuing onto the crowded medieval city of Marrakech. Explore from the lush green coast through the High Atlas Mountains to the deserts, casbahs and markets.
From the modern to the ancient, you will walk, hike, taste and experience the Morocco of the 21st century and of the 1st century. You will discover that some things have changed a lot and some things haven’t changed at all! Enjoy the local cuisine and healthy meals, stay in a unique riad-style accommodation and experience the culture of everyday local life.
Dates are subject to change by a couple days depending on flight availability.

Our itinerary is a guide, we are a fully supportive and encouraging GROUP tour. The days may change with weather forecasts. The itinerary may also change due to the overall group fitness. This itinerary has been put together to give you maximum amount of time on the trail with the least amount of time wasted – in true TSA fashion. There will be scheduled down time and easier days to recover, but this is a BIG trip
Marhaba! Welcome to Morocco! On arrival at Mohammed V International Airport, you will be greeted by your in-country host who will be with you for the duration of your stay and available 24 hours a day.
Your tour guide and in-country host is from the Atlas Mountains and a highly experienced guide. He has been leading tours and adventures all over Morocco for several years and has an unparalleled knowledge of his country that he is looking forward to sharing with you.
We have a direct transfer from the airport to our hotel in Casablanca city in our private vehicle (45 minutes). On arrival you will be welcomed with a cup of Moroccan mint tea – the first of many! Your welcome dinner will be in one of the local restaurants in the art deco city of Casablanca. Your first tastes of Morocco!
Today we travel 4 hours to Moulay Driss a small medieval holy town built in the heart of Zarhoun mount.
On arrival we start walking through fields of olive trees and small farming villages. We hike to the highest point
overlooking Saiss plains and the Middle Atlas mountains. From there we start hiking downhill to discover Morocco’s most impressive Roman ruins at Volubilis. Beautifully preserved mosaics depicting Roman myths and legends can be found among the remains of the merchants’ houses of this once-important city. Our local guide will make the past come alive as he leads you through the site (4 hours hike).
We leave Moulay Driss early in the morning and drive to Midelt (4 hours). Plenty of panoramic views as we cross the stunning Mid-Atlas mountains. We will also take a break in the cedar forest to see if we can catch sight of some Barbary apes,
the only monkeys to be found in North Africa. Watch out though – they won’t be shy if there’s food about! Lunch will be taken en route during a rest break.
On arrival to Tataouine, we start our hike (4hours) to discover the nomadic lands of Ait Merghad tribes. We will be hiking through gorges, valleys and reach one of the peaks at 2,000 meters above sea level.
During our hike we will have the opportunity to visit the home of a Berber family to have a cup of tea.
At the end of the day, we arrive at our accommodation in time to enjoy amazing panoramic views of the Eastern High
Atlas mountains from the terrace.
After dinner in our hotel, how about some Berber music and dancing tonight? Live musicians and local dancers can be arranged to entertain you with their lively music, drumming and dancing.
We leave Midelt after breakfast to transfer to Merzouga (4 hours). We cross the High Atlas mountains and head for the Sahara Desert, seeing the lush green oasis of Tafilalelt on the way and passing through the beautiful Ziz Gorges. Watch the changing landscape as we travel: from mountains and valleys, to oases and reservoirs, to rolling plains and, finally, the majesty of the
Saharan dunes.
We arrive in time to start a 4 hour hike through the dunes and the arid plains. We will have camels to carry our bags with an optional camel ride into the desert. We will be experiencing the real Saharan landscapes by hiking the highest dunes in Morocco and seeing the dramatic shadows and golden orange, pink, and red hues of the ever-changing Erg Chebbi. In the
evening we will listen to the silence of the desert, experience its tranquility, and contemplate its awesome vastness as you gaze at the countless millions of stars above you.
Dinner at the camp is cooked by our caravan drivers tonight
We leave the desert behind us as we make our way to Todra Gorges (4 hours).
We cross two or three beautiful oases on our way today and stop for a short break in Erfoud, a town famous for its large concentration of fossils. Morocco is rich in geological diversity; the wildly varied landscapes tell stories that are millions of years old. The staggering number and variety of fossils to be found in Erfoud and the surrounding region is a vivid illustration
of North Africa’s fascinating prehistory.
About halfway on our route today, we can visit a Berber museum where you can learn about the history and culture of Morocco’s indigenous tribes through a large collection of Berber artefacts, clothes, jewellery, crafts and other day-to-day items.
Our guest house Tabourihte in Todra Gorges is a friendly place, run by locals, and you can relax after dinner with traditional drumming, singing, and dancing – joining in is optional!
The Guest House is not licensed to serve alcohol, but you are welcome to take some wine or beer with you to enjoy with your meal.
Relax, relax, relax! With two nights in Todra Gorges, it is the ideal time to sit back and relax by the pool, soaking up the breathtaking scenery but if you are feeling active, why not try one of the optional activities? You can join a half-day hike with a local guide which will take you from our Kasbah and up to the top of the Gorges to see some spectacular views. The hike is fairly demanding, but achievable for anyone with a reasonable level of general fitness.
Today we have our longest but most spectacular drive (8 hours) across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi ‘n Tichka pass, the highest in Morocco at 2260m. The views from the pass are spectacular, with each bend in the winding road bringing another breathtaking panorama of the dramatic reddish brown mountains, snow-capped ridges, olive, pine, and juniper trees
tumbling into the valleys, and the surprising green of cultivated terraces clinging to the mountainsides. We pass through several Berber villages, where you might come across a weekly souk where locals gather from miles around to exchange their produce.
The road we take today is known as “The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs”. As we drive, you will see many examples of the classic adobe-style Kasbah architecture that is exemplified by the magnificent Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou.
We will pass through the Valley of the Roses where rose petals are harvested and treated to make the scented rose water used for hand washing, in perfumes and other cosmetics, as well as in Moroccan patisserie.
At our arrival to Marrakech we have dinner together at one of the lively food stalls in the beating heart of the Medina Place Jemaa el Fna. Watch the snake charmers, acrobats, and storytellers weave their magic as night falls and the square buzzes with life.
Free time to explore Marrakech today. You might like to visit the Ben Youssef Medersa and the Marrakech Museum in the Medina. Or take a “petit taxi” to the exotic gardens of Jardin Marjorelle, a haven of tranquility and legacy of fashion legend Yves St Laurent. Or capture the
beauty of the Jardin Menara, set against the backdrop of the Atlas mountains. Make sure you’ve done all your shopping in the souks, or while away the time experiencing some of the café culture in the new city, Gueliz. If you want to experience a traditional Moroccan hammam or treat yourself to a Berber massage, your host can arrange this for you (optional).
Or perhaps you’d like to try your hand at cooking up your own tastes of Morocco? We can offer you a cooking class (optional), where you will shop for your ingredients in the souk before learning how to turn them into a delicious, traditional Moroccan dish. Please ask your host for details.
Last dinner together tonight at one of the local restaurants near our hotel.
Transfer to Marrakech or Casablanca airport and we say “Au revoir!” to our host.
We hope that you have enjoyed your first taste of Morocco – from the delicious and fragrant dishes of typical Moroccan cuisine, to the sights and sounds of the vibrant cities, the magnificence of the Atlas mountains, the awe-inspiring vastness of the Sahara desert, and the sheer variety of beautiful landscapes and spectacular scenery that Morocco has to offer.
We wish you a “Bon voyage!” and hope see you on another Take Shape Adventure!
