About Anaconda Australia

Hiking in Australia

Change began with the arrival of Anaconda in 2004, and less than fifteen years later the company now boasts 50+ stores, 1200+ team members, and a comprehensive online shopping experience with reach around Australia. 

Anaconda was an ambitious move by a successful Australian retailing family, and it’s a success story worth celebrating.

It was a long time coming, but Australia now has a nation-wide chain of hiking and camping superstores and specialist outlets.

Reliability is paramount, with the essential equipment selected according to the destination, the weather, and hiking group preferences.

However, specialist retailers like Anaconda mix high quality products with a lowest price guarantee, so you know you are onto a good thing.
