Hell Hole Gorge
Darling Downs South West
Hell Hole Gorge National Park is a wonderful spot about an hour drive from the small township of Adavale. Adavale has a pub/general store, but no fuel. During the hotter times of year it is recommended that you stop into the store or police station in Adavale before heading to Hell Hole Gorge, and let them know of your plans. I strongly recommend a 4WD, there are creek crossings that can be subject to washouts. Once on Hell Hole Gorge National Park there are 2 good swimming holes, Hell Hole Gorge and Spencer's Gorge. Both are lovely, but I personally prefer Spencer's Gorge. The walks up the creeks and from both points are incredible, but there are no marked walking tracks. The park is one of the few places the lucky bush-walker might see the elusive Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby. Though don't worry if you don't, there is a captive population at the National Parks Office in Charleville. The best time of year to be at the park would be late Autumn to early Spring. After rains both locations have lovely cascades and waterfalls. The majority of the park is inaccessible to the public, walking from both gorges is a worthwhile experience.

This is a walk of two halves in the Gorges de Pereille, just outside Lavelanet, Ariege, France. To begin you follow a well formed track which is the old access road for a mine in the gorge. The return journey is along the other bank of the river which flows through the gorge, and involves following animal tracks and some scrambling up steep sides of the gorge.

Monastery Hike
Egypt
This is a very challenging two day walk in the mountains of the Eastern Desert in Egypt. It runs between the two monasteries of saints Anthony and Paul and is a very ancient path. This hike is difficult and dangerous and should only be attempted by experienced, confident hikers.
