Why do we exist?Australia’s natural beauty and cultural history is recognized around the world and especially at home. From local suburbs to wilderness areas, aboriginal dreamtime to European settlement, there is always somewhere or something new to explore. Adventure.com.au aims to help Australians to discover their country the most natural way possible - by foot. Walking is free, good for you, frequently social, and always enjoyable. By putting information about what lies beyond their front door directly into the hands of people, we hope to inspire, encourage and develop walking in Australia. There are already many walkers in Australia, but they are spread far and wide. Until now, there hasn’t been a comprehensive database of walks for people to do, nor a forum to voice issues, discuss ideas, and meet like-minded people. Adventure.com.au is the beginning of a new community; your country is only a step away. | How are we doing this? BY:
* Making walking a real and viable option for anyone to enjoy by building the first Australia-wide, easy to use web-based resource of walks. * Developing a community of walkers including clubs, the general public, print and online magazines, Health Organisations and government departments to promote walking in Australia. * Creating an online forum to voice issues, discuss ideas, meet like-minded people and be a motivational meeting place. * By making available over 230 MAPS of walks in Australia to walkers and visitors to our site. | What do we Value? * Health - To develop and maintain healthy lifestyles by incorporating walking as a regular activity. * Community - Encourage people to share ideas, lobby for what is important to them and get positive reinforcement from others. * Education - Place all the necessary information and motivation tools at the finger tips of anyone considering a walk. Whether you are new to walking, walking for health or a seasoned bushwalker, we want to support and help you discover more of Australia. Judy, Almis and the team at adventure.com.au |
