Follow the expedition of explorers Hamilton Hume and William Hovell
The Hume and Hovell Track is an epic trail in the south east of NSW that traverses rugged and beautiful countryside following a mix of public roads, fire trails, purpose built single track and over 100 footbridges.
We have two weekend options available for this expedition, one involves camping under the stars like the first explorers and the other takes a comfort approach and stay in the local shearers quarters.
