Bushwalking (formally known as hiking) is a great source of day-long entertainment. When travellers start walking through the stretched landscapes, they feel a different sort of feeling inside. Moreover, hiking is a good way to explore any specific geographical location which is not possible through other travelling modes

Last summer, I went hiking at the Stirling Range for a hike with some of my friends. It was one of the most exciting events in my life and fortunately my parents allowed me to move with my friends without imposing any obligations. We walked all the day long and stayed the night at the peak. The views were breathtaking

Before the summer began in Australia, we six friends decided to go for a trip to Perth and then will undertake the hiking beginning from the Stirling Mountain range to its peak. We had to walk and climb together to reach the summit and finally we succeeded to ride on the top. It was the day time and thus the sun was too bright to look forward and amid the situation, we had to drive about 200 miles to reach the hiking and climbing trail of Stirling Range

Five of my school friends and I went to the trip and to make it memorable, we went all by us. We requested our parents to allow us go without the help of them. As we were growing up teenage boys, they did allow us and this was the most exciting part of our trip. We all prepared well, reached the spot in time and returned home safely too after the bush-walk

This trip was exciting for me and a fresh experience as I never took part in such trips. The most important thing is that I packed all my necessary stuff at the night before we start the trip. My parents gave me a few advice that proved effective when applied, particularly walking under the sun at day time during the walk. I enjoyed the trip as the views were breathtaking and the roads were smooth. But I had to face little troubles during the mountain climbing. My hands started sweating and thus slipped several times when I was climbing the mountain

The views from the mountain top are spectacular and I had also seen the ocean lying in a long distance using my binocular. There were wildflowers all around the walking tracks and smelt pleasant, and the smells turned more attractive at night when we camped at a camping cave located by the side of a road. We returned from the walking on the next day and followed the directions given to return to the city
