WELCOME
to Under Sea, Over Stone!
This site was created to inspire you to step away from the desk and into the outdoors - to simply look up. From office to outside, we’ve designed it as a one-stop shop for all things hiking. Here, you’ll find everything you need to get into the great outdoors: trail guides, gear advice, and inspiration to start exploring.
And we don’t just talk about hiking - we run carefully curated group hikes in and around Sydney, giving you the perfect excuse to get outside and connect with like-minded souls. Along the way, we hope to make a positive impact on our communities and the environment.
This space celebrates every reason we’ve found to swap the boardroom for the bush, and we hope you'll find it a great way to start your next adventure.
If you have any immediate questions, why not check out our FAQ's, or - if you want to check out where we walk, why not have a look at our blog - look for the 'Official USOS hike' icon!
