FINALLY getting around to starting the blog posts from our big trip and there’s going to be a few! We started our big trip in my home country of Ireland where we started off in north county Dublin at my parents’ home in Loughshinny. Just up the road there is a beautiful castle and gardens … More Ardgillan Gardens
Been a while since I’ve posted any major adventures on the blog or new images on my Instagram account. That’s all about to change over the next 5 weeks! Tomorrow morning we set off to Ireland for my brother’s wedding and then go on a 2 week roadtrip around Ireland. After that, we head to … More The Big Trip: Ireland, Iceland & Hong Kong
Olympus have long been known as producers of sturdy cameras, that is cameras that can take a bit of a beating and won’t break a sweat in the process. That has certainly been my experience with the flagship Olympus E-M1 over the past few months. Previously I had shot with Canon cameras but having grown … More The Olympus E-M1 as an adventure camera
Following on from our lovely walk up at Narawntapu we enjoyed a nice relaxing evening with friends in Latrobe. The following morning we hit the road again to head back to Hobart. The plan had originally been to head up Quamby Bluff and tick off another Abel but the weather wasn’t looking good the night before, … More A day in the Central Highlands

Well that’s another Abel ticked off the list and all the Abels nearest to Hobart done and dusted. Mount Marian was the last on the list and we had been putting it off for a while as for some reason we thought it was really far. The truth is, once you get up from Collinsvale … More Mount Marian: 50mm
With the questionable weather we’ve been having in Tasmania recently, getting out for a big hike or to climb another Abel has proved elusive. Our attention has thus been drawn closer to home and towards shorter walks in the Hobart area. One such walk I’ve always wondered about is getting as close as possible to … More Walk to Cape Direction
There is a special place on Mount Wellington that only appears a handful of times each year. It is the Disappearing Tarn and is formed only after a heavy rainfall or large dumping of snow. UPDATE MAY 2018: Following on from THAT rain on Thursday 10th May 2018, there really was only one place to … More Disappearing Tarn: Mount Wellington
This trip almost didn’t happen. We’d been umming and uhhing all week, watching the weather forecast and praying for a miraculous change from the soggy prediction that was being made. When you’re hoping to climb Tasmania’s highest mountain, you kinda want to have a view. Hannah pushed us onward in the end and we decided … More Easter atop Tasmania
Ah the Walls of Jerusalem, a spectacular National Park in the Central Plateau of Tasmania. It lies to the East of its better known cousin, the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park A.K.A. The Overland Track bit. In fact, you get pretty epic views of much of the Overland peaks but we’ll get to that. … More Walls of Jerusalem Circuit
