Winter is well and truly setting in and there’s no avoiding it. While many Australians are scrambling to get to sunnier destinations, others are embracing the wilder parts of the world. These people are putting on their warmest jackets and taking the time to get out of the city and explore the mountains, lakes and trails. If this is your kind of travel, then check out the Instagram accounts of these Australian photographers that will give you the inspiration you need to embrace your inner explorer.

Travellers who have driven the iconic west coast road that is route 101, running north to south from Washington State down to California, know that it’s jam packed with hidden gems. Between the deep, lush forests of Washington State, the Cliffside caves of Oregon and the sunny Californian ocean side roads, it’s a photographers’ paradise. Although nothing quite captures the adventure like this post from WA photographer Rachel Claire.

Tasmania is a deceptively huge area to conquer. Unattached from the Australian mainland, places like Cradle Mountain, the Tarkine and Freycinet Peninsula provide explorers vast amounts of land to hike or drive through. If that’s not enough for you – you can always take a seaplane up above the Freycinet Peninsula to get another perspective, like Melbourne photographer Aleksandar Jason did.
3. Tim Coulson
This shot taken by Aussie photographer Tim Coulson in Glencoe Scotland is stunning proof that Britain still has a bit of wildness left in it. Only two hours’ drive north-west of Glasgow, Glencoe is a beautiful array of rocky, windswept valleys and green moorlands. A true hikers haven for anyone visiting Scotland over the European summer.
4. Remy Brand
Stockton Beach is part of the Newcastle region, located roughly 2.5 hours north of Sydney. Although not traditionally known as a hotspot for adventure travellers, this image from Sydney photographer Remy Brand shows just how powerful the simplest spots can be with just the right light.
