  • Thanks

    Great podcast. New to hiking. Information relevant and helpful. Just did 3 Capes and preparing for Overland. Not knowing anything about hiking and being brand new and raw and green, it’s great to hear you guys and learn some from those who have gone out and done. Thanks.

  • Something for everyone

    I have enjoyed this show from the start. While I am a seasoned walker, I always find new things in episode and joining Tim and Jill’s adventures and interviews, and the good diversity of topics cover. As a scout leader, I often share episodes with parents of my scouts, to help them understand the packing and other thing their scouts need to / is considering as the episodes are so accessible for outdoors and non-outdoors people alike.

  • Such a great resource for Australian Hikers

    As a new hiker Tim and Gills journeys and information has been extremely valuable to me. I love hearing about their adventures and opinions. I often find myself going through their gear lists and reviews when needing something. Thanks so much for all you do for the hiking community.

  • Best Hikers Podcast!

    Tim & Gill always offer such reliable info. Loved their Part 2 of the Cape To Cape episode. Bought back so many memories of doing that track myself. Glad I wasn't the only hiker to really struggle with all those deep soft sand sections which reeked havoc on my ankles & feet. Fantastic content. Can’t wait for the next trail review!
