Wild Magazine

Gear up for another year of adventure with Wild’s first issue for 2026, Issue #199. Starting with the cover story, there’s a hilarious account of heading to the Warrumbungles as Seb Ashton tries his hand at big-wall climbing for the first time. There are pieces on bushwalking in Tassie’s Walls of Jerusalem, NZ’s Kaweka Range, the Vic Alps, and NSW’s mighty Mt Jagungal. There’s MTB-ing in spectacular Kyrgyzstan, and a fabulous photo essay on bivouacs in the European Alps. As for paddling, there’s packrafting down Tassie’s Crossing River, along with a very special trip down the Franklin River to commemorate The Wilderness Society’s 50th birthday. And there are pieces on how tech is changing wildlife surveying, on tips for adventurers visiting Oz, on getting into ultra-running, and on naming landmarks out bush. And as always, there are our regular columnists, Green Pages, gear reviews and opinion pieces. Wild—Australia's best adventure and conservation writing and photography
