Heritage Hikes Australia offers guided bushwalking/hiking experiences that combine outdoor adventure with the discovery of Australia's historical landscapes.

These small-group walks explore places where history remains visible in the landscape. Guests visit former mining settlements, forgotten railway lines, mountain huts and archaeological sites while learning how the past can be read through ruins, artefacts and environmental clues.

Experiences range from part-day to full-day and multi-day hiking adventures across several national parks in New South Wales, including the Blue Mountains, Dharug, Wollemi and Kosciuszko regions. Locations include the Newnes historic site with its former shale mining town ruins and railway, including the Glow Worm Tunnel; the Devines Hill convict road works and the remote alpine huts of the Snowy Mountains.

What makes Heritage Hikes Australia unique is the combination of outdoor guiding and professional heritage expertise. Walks are led by experienced bushwalkers who are also professional archaeologists, historians and museum specialists. Guests learn to observe the landscape like an archaeologist and uncover stories often missed by traditional tours. Heritage Hikes Australia operates under licence from the National Parks and Wildlife Service and is a member of Outdoors NSW and ACT.

These experiences appeal to curious travellers, history enthusiasts, walkers and families who enjoy learning while exploring nature. Each walk blends storytelling, heritage interpretation and outdoor adventure to create a memorable way to experience the Australian bush.
