Road Trip Australia: Trekking Hats

What better place to test how well Conner hats keep you cool and protected from the sun than a road trip through the Kimberley, in the heart of the Australian outback? A road trip Australia adventure is perfect for exploring this vast landscape.

When our good mate (and super talented photographer) Nick Green suggested he and a few friends put a few of our adventure hats to the test, we were very happy to oblige. 

Situated in remote northwestern Australia and almost exactly the size of California, the Kimberley holds a population of around 50,000 people. This place is truly wild, beautiful and untouched, making it an ideal destination for those interested in eco conscious fashion and sustainable clothing brands.

The Windjana Gorge is especially stunning, with limestone cliffs and a healthy population of freshwater crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks of crystal clear pools. It's a prime spot to wear your outdoor hiking hat and enjoy the scenery.

Feel like a short drive through the neighborhood? Try 660 km on the unpaved Gibb River Road. To really enjoy this drive you need at least two weeks, a reliable 4WD, some solid camping gear, and a hat for trekking. Oh, and no need to call home, there is no cell phone reception! But, think of all the beauty you'll see. You may even truly get to know your friends without that phone distraction. Remember, some sun protection clothing near me can also be handy for this journey.

When you're out there under that big sky on your road trip Australia adventure, remember to bring a little piece of cool along with you…your mini oasis, your Conner Hat. Consider these Australia travel tips to make the most of your journey, and ensure you have the right adventure hats for every occasion.
