It’s been a while between blog posts and for that I do apologise. Summer has arrived in Tasmania but it seems nobody told the weather that. We’ve been stuck indoors on weekends when we’d be itching to get out and about into the Tasmanian wilderness and add a few more peaks to our Abel list. … More Trestle Mountain
No, this isn’t a blog post about David Collins, the founding Lieutenant Governor of the Colony of Van Diemens Land and his foray into wearing lady’s headwear..It’s about a wonderful jaunt up the mountain named after him. Collins Bonnet forms part of Sleeping Beauty, which is an area of Wellington Park that from Huonville looks like…..well…..Sleeping … More Collins Bonnet
The weather in Tassie has been having a bit of a Game of Thrones vibe as of late. You wait ages for Winter to come and wonder where on earth it is and then BOOM! Winter is most definitely here and that means one thing….snow glorious snow! I’ve been absolutely loving looking up at the … More White Wellington
Ah Dark Mofo, that most wonderful time of the year, when you get to escape from the cold of Winter that envelops Tasmania. This Winter has been pretty mild so far and Dark Mofo kind of snuck up on us out of nowhere. You go down for the opening night and before you know it, … More Dark Mofo 2017
Last Sunday myself and 30+ Instagrammers took a coach up a small part of the Heritage Highway, starting at Oatlands before coming back through Kempton, Pontville and Brighton. It was a rainy day but that didn’t dampen the spirits of our group as we got off at our first stop, Callington Mill. It’s a working Georgian … More Heritage Highway Instameet
I’ve been wanting to go find Secret Falls for ages and finally got round to it yesterday. I walked from my house in South Hobart and was there and back in a couple of hours. That’s just amazing to me, having such awesome scenery right on my doorstep. Anyhoo back to the task at hand. … More The worst kept secret waterfall
It’s been almost two years since I first set foot on Tasmanian soil. I’ve had the immense privilege of seeing some of this island’s most picturesque and beautiful sights. Putting a top 10 together has not been easy as it means omitting a place that is no less amazing than those featured here. The scariest … More My top 10 sights in Tasmania (so far)
Well it happened again, Tasmania has blown my mind with its epicness. Today we went on a hike up to the tarn shelf at Mount Field and did a nice 15+ km circuit from the Lake Dobson car park and pack. I highly recommend doing the circuit anticlockwise as the scenery just keeps getting better … More Mount Field Tarn Shelf walk
Ok well not cycling ALL the way, that would be impossible as you’ll see in a bit. It was late on Monday evening when Mo texted me to see if I fancied doing Cathedral Rock the next day. Being Christmas and living with a man who reviews beers I had already had a few interesting … More Cycling to Cathedral Rock
There are many facets to Dark Mofo that make it such a complete and engaging festival. There is of course the art, which this year was as strange and confusing as ever. There’s also the food and drink on offer at the Winter Feast as well as numerous live music events during the course of … More A song of rice and fire: Dark Mofo entertainment.
