An overnighter to Mount Field West
Mount Field West is a big, chunky boi and is relatively easy to get to. Despite the slog.
Western Arthurs - Lake Oberon return (Jan 2017)
A familar track, a lost father and a lovely lake. What more can you expect?
Maria Island - 27, 28th December 2016
I’ve been to Maria Island twice now. Once in December 2016, following the first time about two decades ago.
Cape Hauy - 24 December 2016
The day was sunny, warm (some would say hot), and we were ready for a quick visit to one of Tasmania’s favourite capes, Cape Hauy! We’d stayed the night down on the Peninsula, so it was a quick drive down to the Fortescue Bay.
Southern Ranges Circuit via Precipitous Bluff (or, why not to go walking in Tasmania in September)
The word precipitous has two meanings.
It’s something either dangerously high or steep (the track skirted a precipitous drop) and also something done suddenly and without careful consideration (precipitous intervention).
How true they both were…
Mount Anne Circuit (or how did I forget that Mount Anne was a mountain)
This was a walk that was different from what I had imagined. I thought it was going to simple. Do it in half the time? Easy! No.
The Never Never (May 2015)
The Never Never. Something that had been on my todo list for a while. Finally got around to it May 2015.
The Overland Track
I did the Overland Track. It was good. I didn’t take many photos. There were too many clouds and many, many wombats.
The Port Davey and South Coast Track (2012)
A major walk taking in the Port Davey and South Coast Tracks, and a few boat crossings in between!
Mount Feathertop (via the Bon Accord spur)
We had been walking a couple of hours up the Bon Accord Spur. It was hot, and we were sweating more than a Finn in a sauna. What’s worse was we had another 600m to go - upwards.
