If time and money were not constraints, I would spend a year or two doing the Big Lap around Australia doing every bushwalk, climb and kayak I could find along the way. Then I'd head overseas and travel each continent... and then... oh that's right, it's only a dream
Internationally there are so many I would like to do, but since forced to pick only one it would the Parque Nacional Torres del Paine circuit in Patagonia.
Locally - yeah probably the South Coast Track for me too.

And of course whilst in Patagonia it would worthwhile to visit the Perito Moreno glacier and also Monte Fitzroy - the silhouette of which forms the Mountain Designs logo.
After returning to the enjoyment of bushwalking after a 30 year hiatus, the Larapinta Trail in 2016 (restored fitness permitting) is a definite dream. OS. The John Muir Trail in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAG2xURyvtY would be another dream hike for me...
I like to walk the south west Cape (Tassie) in good weather and take a week - 10 days to do it. Overseas would have to be South Is NZ or Patagonia for a few months.
As for overseas, I've always wanted to see the Northern Lights but had never looked into it that much. Then I read this article the other day. It's taken number 1 position for international hikes.
A bit boring but id like to walk along the dingo fence. Not all of it cause is 5600km long. Id need to lose a few kgs. Over seas probably Scotland and its castles. Eye !!!
Venice to Rome to Santiago to Paris..... After that ,If I was lucky enough to still be on this earth...Paris to Oslo.....and on .......and on.......I know ,dream on Vicrev
Australia......Koolpin to Twinfalls or Jim Jim falls. Kakadu, Northern Territory. In the Dry first, then again in the Wet. Anywhere from a week to 3week duration, depends on goal & route taken.
Overseas....Mt Kinabalu. Sabah, Malaysia. Past by on my way to the Hot springs & the Orangutan sanctuary years ago and regret not taking the time to climb it.
Mountain views are good for my soul...& getting to them is good for my waistline ! https://ofuros.exposure.co/
