All posts from Australia including Tasmania and the mainland.
Testing, testing, one, two, one, two, is this thing on? So it’s been a little while since I wrote a blog post….like over two years. My bad. Life’s been pretty busy but that shouldn’t get in the way of adventure. The most recent one has been to venture out to Lake Skinner, a beautiful alpine … More Lake Skinner
The walk to the top of Mount Eliza is a slog and a half. It’s a 12km return from Condominium Creek, which is terribly named as there’s no high rise apartments to be seen. Where it is apt is the stairs….the endless stairs to the base of the summit. You gain over 900m in altitude … More Mount Eliza: Southwest Tasmania
A couple of weeks ago, the meteorologists and local media were all frothing at the mouth as snow was predicted to reach sea level! The last time that happened was in 2015 and before that 1986, so a pretty rare treat. The sea level prediction didn’t eventuate but the hills around us in Dulcot got … More Mount Wellington after the snow
Things have gotten a little quieter on the hiking front in recent weeks now that I’m back at work and our weekends have been filled with various tasks and things. This is a post from a wonderful evening walk I made on the 2nd of January this year. I had been wanting to go up … More Mount Wellington: Smiths Monument
Following on from the Western Wilds delights of the previous post, we continued our adventure north from Strahan to another former mining town, Zeehan. I had read stories of a famous tunnel that contains Glow Worms and just had to add it to our itinerary. Located at the end of Fowler Street and past the … More Cradle Mountain and beyond

Let’s keep the Tassie love rolling! Here’s another post from the Central Plateau, following on from yesterday’s Quamby Bluff adventure. We ventured up to the Great Lakes once again on the 30th December, the goal? To get Gemma to 20 Abels before the end of the year……whilst 6 months pregnant! Our quarry for the day … More Sandbanks Tier
What’s this? Czeching Out Tasmania posting about Tasmania? What a novelty! I’ve been tearing through the blog posts from Ireland in recent weeks and completely neglected to post about Tassie. I am a terrible person, I know and I apologise profusely. So let’s get back into it, let’s get some Tassie action going! Back at … More Quamby Bluff
Since meeting Gemma back at the end of 2016 my life has been one big adventure. I’ve seen places with her I had long dreamt about others I still can’t believe are real and right on our doorstep. I’ve always been drawn to mountains and the outdoors and to be able to share that passion … More The Greatest Adventure of All
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
