Into the Blue Creative Walks conducts specialized programs for writers, choirs, photographers, artists, professional groups and families in extraordinary places throughout Australia and New Zealand. Our programs include profound interactions with Indigenous people and hold to the philosophy that nature and wilderness are the perfect place in which to explore a range of creative activites.

Raymond Hawkins, owner of Into the Blue Creative Walks is the self-styled ELECTRONIC SWAGMAN. He is also a published author, video maker, long distance walker and photographer. Armed with a Toyota, a dog called Tommie, the internet and a laptop; he blogs from an Australia you may never have seen. The ELECTRONIC SWAGMAN blog tells the story behind the walks.

Professional programs are a developing category that seek to allow lawyers, psychologists and practictioners to explore their discipline in a new way. Amongst indigenous Australians, wilderness and amongst colleagues, different viewpoints arise.  

Into the Blue views wilderness as a place in which to explore a range of human activities. Our Lifestyle and Creative programs take your passion or special interests and weave it into a fascinating journey. Remarkable things happen on Into the Blue trips.
