We were very fortunate to avoid the pre-Christmas madness and escape to the stunning Freycinet Peninsula for an incredible 4 day family hike. Our boys (ages 8 and 10) had the time of their lives, running free on pristine beaches, swimming in the spectacular Wineglass Bay, exploring the native bush, getting in touch with nature, [...]

My first thought about the Tasmanian Overland track is that of rainforests, waterfalls, vast mountains and perhaps some mud. But to my surprise we were blazoned with 39 degree heat traveling up from Hobart to Cradle Mountain ready to start the walk the next day in equally heat wavering conditions. The Cradle Mountain hike up [...]

One of my dad’s goals was to climb Marion’s Lookout, the tallest viewing point at Cradle Mountain, while were in Tasmania. It was only 11.5km uphill. The family put on our jumpers, ate a big breakfast and caught the shuttle bus to Ronny Creek to start our hike. Mum had cooked 15 chicken drumsticks and [...]

On an island about 450ks by 350Ks, we travelled over 4600ks around this picturesque paradise, navigating every highway, road and track that took our fancy. Apart from the constant breathtaking scenery I [...]

In my last post, I barely touched upon the shifting climatic conditions that I faced while on the Northern Coast. That all came to a head as I made my way to the interior and journeyed to Cradle Mountain. The morning before, I had arisen just before sunrise to make the drive to Liffey Falls, [...]

With some spare time on my annual leave I decided to pack up my most beloved camera and head off to the West Coast. Leaving from Devonport I travelled through Burnie before heading south on the Murchinson Highway, my destination for the week was Granville Harbour. I had arranged to rent a private shack there [...]

On this tour we experienced, I believe, some of the best of what Tasmania has to offer. Our flight left from Cambridge Airport in Hobart and headed south along the east coast to the South East Cape and then headed west to land at Melaleuca. The flight highlighted the spectacular and rugged coastline that is [...]

As host of iFISH I am fortunate enough to have been to Tasmania on over a dozen trips and, each time, the sole purpose has been the pursuit of fish. I can’t exactly put my finger on what it is, but there’s something that excites me greatly and makes me feel at home every time [...]
