Australian Hiker



Australian Hiker, founded by Tim Savage in 2016, is one of Australia’s most trusted independent sources for hiking knowledge, trail guidance, and gear insights. Every trail they review has been personally walked, providing real-life, firsthand experiences rather than recycled information. Their gear reviews are based on months of research and hands-on testing, offering honest appraisals with no paid endorsements—warts and all.
Tim Savage brings over 40 years of hiking experience in Australia and abroad, combined with a background in landscape architecture, horticulture, and cultural heritage. This gives him a unique understanding of how people connect with the environment and the ways these experiences foster a deeper appreciation of the natural world. For Tim, walking is more than moving from point A to B—it’s a chance to tune out of the modern world, immerse in nature, and reflect on life. His passion for long-distance hiking drives him to refine every aspect of gear and preparation, ensuring smarter, safer, and more enjoyable adventures.
We are proud to partner with Australian Hiker to showcase Wilderness Wear products in real-world conditions. By sharing genuine trail experiences, Tim demonstrates how our gear performs when it matters most, highlighting performance, comfort, and durability. Their honest, experience-based insights help reinforce the quality and reliability of Wilderness Wear, supporting our mission to provide hikers with gear they can trust.
