Maree Brennan, is an experienced Hiker lucky enough to live on a Station in South-West Queensland. With a self confessed hiking addiction she brings the life to the party and has walked some of the best hikes in Australia, from the Larapinta Trail in Alice Springs, Copland and Queen Charlotte Tracks in NZ to the famous Kokoda track in PNG. But for Maree it's the Carnarvon Gorge Great Walk in her own back yard that kicked off her love for hiking starting back in 2013 when she completed the hike with the QLD Rural Wild Women Hikers. Maree first discovered this hike while mustering cattle on the station, she noticed a helicopter flying above with a net carrying large rectangle rocks. The pilot informed them the rocks were for steps for the great walk they were constructing in the mountains behind Maree's property. Considering this was being constructed right on her doorstep she was instantly excited, she informed her husband that she was going to complete the walk. Baffled he thought she was mad and suggested she do it on a horse instead. Unfazed Maree gathered a few friends and completed what was the first of many walks together. Since then she has completed one major walk a year and sometimes up to four walks. With her experience, love for hikes and bubbly personality she wants to share this with you while completing the Carnarvon Great Walk; Wild and Free —

exactly how life should be.
