Hiking on Cradle Mountain, where we had snow in the mid of summer. We took the upper Lake Dove circle, decided not to climb the summit as it was covered in clouds and decendet via Marion's lookout to Ronny Creek, the start of the Overland Track.

Beautiful hike at Lake Dobson in the Mt. Field National Park. Starting at the ski field, passing along lots of emerald tarns and finally end with lots of rock hopping on the way back via K Cool to Lake Dobson. This hike is one of my all time favorites.
Enjoying a day at the great beach of wineglass bay, back on Hazards Beach on the west coat of Feycinet peninsula to the car park.
Nice hike from Fortescue Bay to Cape Hauy, then to Mt. Fortescue and back to Fortescue Bay via the Cape Pillar track.
After climbing up to a plateau that will take you about 2 hours will pass King Solomons Jewels, Herodes Gate, The Walls of Jerusalem, Damascus Gate, the Temple and lots of other mystice places. Great campsite with wooden platforms.
Walking along the beaches at the bay of fires. Awesome landscape.
Trip to Maria Island, walk to the painted cliffs and climbing on bishop and clerk
It is 20 years since I did the
full traverse of the Western Arthur Range, although I have made trips to parts
of it and across to the Norolds since.
It came as no surprise that it would now take longer for the journey now
than then, nevertheless it still made me wonder how we could have done some of
the sections in the times recorded back then.
Just goes to show how you slow down as time...
Day 1
After arriving at Devonport on the Spirit of Tasmania II we stopped in for a bite of breakfast at the Edgewater Hotel, last minute shopping in town and made our way through the Mural town of Sheffield where we stopped for a quick toilet break. While we were here there was Australia Day celebrations in the park with music, free breakfast and free Australian Flags which we were given one each...
Hiking the first part of the famous South Coast Track in the south of Tasmania
An easy little walk along a gently graded track following the route of the Dundas tramway that serviced the mines at Williamsford. Track can be muddy underfoot but otherwise poses little problems for a pleasant 3 hr return stroll. The falls are one of the highest in Tasmania and can be viewed from the dramatic perspective of a steel suspension bridge spanning the gorge where the train once ran.

This little walk combines a gentle climb on easy road surface to real bush walking conditions as it follows the Smoko Creek through a series of steep forested slopes and visits several spectacular cascades.
Myrtle, King Billy and sassafras dominate the temperate rainforest of this region and as you move off road and into the bush proper, you leave behind the forestry practices of the past that have regenerated as scrubby eucalypt and...

A friend and I walked the Penguin Cradle Trail, in six days, in early Spring.
After setting up on the limited area near Paddy's Lake we hiked up to Black Bluff.
It had snowed a week before, and there was a bit still about on the plateau and over on Cradle. However the weather was fine.
A leisurely walk on the Shadow Lake Circuit at Lake St. Clair in the Cradle Mountain / Lake St. Clair National Park in Tasmania, Australia. An absolutely gorgeous day for a wonderful hike! We thought about doing Mt. Rufus but decided there was too much snow still, although another hiker/runner did the Mt. Rufus route and back in less than 5 hours the same day we went out!We could have done this...
