The chilly Arctic Circle edition fourth edition of The chilly Arctic Circle edition fourth edition of Alone Australia is underway! 

Before it kicked off @tim_ashelford had the chance to quiz Alyce, Lillian, and Dougy.

Head to our link in bio to read the full interview.
The Mount Gower Summit trail on Lord Howe Island t The Mount Gower Summit trail on Lord Howe Island takes you to the roof of this UNESCO World Heritage-protected island! 

And @roxyandtommy are adamant it’s one of Australia’s most spectacular day hikes!
Winter chill got you reaching for a down jacket? Winter chill got you reaching for a down jacket? 

Former Gear Editor @mattwisemanmedia runs through why the @patagoniaaus Synthetic reigns supreme in the down debate.
Located within one of the most biodiverse regions Located within one of the most biodiverse regions in Australia, the Hakea Trail in Western Australia’s Fitzgerald River National Park is worth adding to your list.

Spanning approximately 23km one way with around 370m of elevation gain, this trail is a solid day hike or overnighter.

@adam.and.clara were lucky enough to get a short break in the winter weather, which meant they saw more whales than people!

Around halfway along the trail you’ll reach Whalebone Creek Hut, which offers multiple double bunks, outdoor tent platforms, toilets, a covered picnic table, and a rainwater tank.

Water may be available during winter, but shouldn’t be relied upon, so it’s best to carry everything you need.

They recommend hiking to the hut on day one, setting up camp, having an early night, then leaving your overnight gear at the hut and continue to Quoin Head the following morning for sunrise!

It breaks the hike up nicely and lets you enjoy the epic coastal views without carrying a full pack the entire way!
