October 16 361-Outdoor Retailer Expo 2026
The Outdoor Retailer Australia Show was held on 13-15 October 2026 at the exhibition centre located minutes from the centre of Canberra city. For me this trade only show is a chance to see any new and upcoming gear as well as to strengthen relationships within staff and companies within the outdoor industry.
As usual from our discussions with the various suppliers at the show, we will be undertaking a number of gear reviews over the upcoming year as the opportunities arise that will be of interest to you.

September 29 359 The Rise of Hiking and Outdoor Gear as Fashion Items
I can remember clearly going into the Canberra Scout Store as a teenager with a parent and purchasing my first real tent (nylon) and external frame aluminium and nylon pack for an upcoming week long trip.
These days we have no end of purchasing options from nationally branded stores and well known standalone specialists. In addition over the past couple of years in particular we are seeing international branded stores entering the retail market including The North Face, Arcteryx, and Patagonia. These stores have come into existence for two main reasons.
In this podcast episode we discuss the rise of outdoor gear as a fashion item and this means for the industry.

July 07 352 Introduction to the Heysen Trail
It's the 7th of July, 2026, and in a few weeks’ time I’ll be commencing my southbound journey on South Australia’s Heysen Trail. This trail is Australia’s’ longest dedicated hiking trail spanning approximately 1200km from Parachilna in the north, to Cape Jarvis on the coastline in the south. It has everything I love about hiking from arid landscapes to a coastal connection and everything in between. In this podcast episode we talk with Neil Hendry to get an introduction to the trail and the role that the ‘Friends of the trail' plays.
This is the first of 11 planned episodes with will include a number of episodes recorded on trail to relay what I am thinking and how I am feeling in 'real time' to hopefully help you out if you decide to walk this trail
