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
Hi there, remember me? It’s been a while huh? Quite a bit has happened since my last blog post. We bought a house to start with! The renovations were underway when that little thing called COVID hit Australia. Cue all parks being shut and the mere thought of going out for a bushwalk being met … More Collins Cap
Well, it finally happened……we got out for a hike! There’s been a bit of a (very much expected) dearth when it comes to visiting the great outdoors since Lachie was born, so it felt absolutely amazing to be out in the bush once again recently. A quick perusal through the marvellous 100 Walks in Tasmania … More Mount Field: Lake Nicholls walk
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
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
