From Red Earth to Blue Coast: A Destination-Driven Hiking Guide to Australia

By NIKKY E. ANGIE

From Red Earth to Blue Coast is a destination-driven hiking journey across Australia-told through firsthand experience, careful observation, and a deep respect for the land.
This guide follows my footsteps from the red deserts of Central Australia to the misty peaks of the Eastern Highlands and onward toward the coast, exploring how each landscape shapes the way we walk, think, and connect with place. Rather than listing trails alone, this book focuses on why destinations feel the way they do, how terrain, climate, and culture influence every hike, and what it means to move thoughtfully through Australia's diverse environments.
Inside, you'll discover:
Desert walks through Uluru, Kings Canyon, the West MacDonnell Ranges, and Alice Springs
Mountain and forest hikes across the Eastern Highlands, including gorges, ridgelines, and rainforests
Practical insights on seasonal planning, safety, hydration, and terrain-specific preparation
Cultural awareness woven naturally into each destination, acknowledging Indigenous connections to Country
A reflective, first-person narrative that blends guidance with lived experience
This book is written for hikers who want more than distances and difficulty ratings. It's for travellers who want to understand the land beneath their boots, adapt to Australia's changing conditions, and hike with awareness, respect, and curiosity.
Whether you're planning your first Australian hike or revisiting familiar trails with fresh perspective, From Red Earth to Blue Coast invites you to slow down, pay attention, and experience Australia one step at a time.
