Best Long Distance Hiking in Oceania

Te Araroa (The Long Pathway) passes through all of New Zealand, in one of the world's most famous long distance trails. It takes four to six months to complete an entire thru-hike (called a thru-tramp locally). As with many trails of this length, there is significant diversity in terms of terrain, weather, difficulty, and other factors. Therefore, extra care must be taken to plan accordingly for different sections.

The Larapinta Trail is a popular bushwalking trail in the Northern Territory of central Australia. Due to extreme weather conditions, it is best walked in the cooler months of the southern hemisphere. Thankfully, the park service maintains water tanks specifically for hikers of the trail.

The Great South West Walk is a circular long distance walking track in south western Victoria, Australia. The route goes through several major parks: Discovery Bay Coastal Park, Lower Glenelg National Park, and Cobboboonee National Park. Reservable campsites are situated between sections, and have clean water, campsites, and bush toilets.
