Exploring Tasmania’s Overland Track: An Unforgettable Hiking Experience
The Overland Track in Tasmania is always listed as one of the worlds best multiday hikes, and has been on our list of must do’s for a very long time. This January, 2025 we finally got to experience it, and what a wonderful accomplishment it was! Mountains, waterfalls, cool climate rainforest and so much more.…
A Tassie Christmas Adventure Part 1
Over the Christmas / New Years period of 2019, we along with some good friends headed to Tasmania for a month to explore as much as we could in the time we had. Tasmania has so much to see and do for such a small place that you could easily spend 3 months there and…
Uluru Easter Trip
During the Easter school holidays in 2019 we along with some others from our local 4wd club did a trip to Uluru via Coober Pedy and back through painted desert and along the Oodnadatta track in 10 days. The first afternoon was just a short 2 hour run up to Horsham where we stayed on…
Jamieson & Mount Terrible 4wd trip
As I have probably said before, the Victorian High Country is a wonderful place summer or winter and this trip is another fun time exploring a small section of this great part of Australia. For this trip we actually stayed in a cabin at the local caravan park as we were arriving late on friday…
Mt Everest & Island peak trek
Back in 2012 I finally completed one of those dream trips I had been wanting to do for a very long time. Mt everest base camp and also Island peak. This is not an easy trek as the altitude alone will stop you dead in your tracks if not fit enough to manage the reduced…
High Country Snow driving weekend
After an early dump of snow on the Victorian and NSW High country we packed up the swag and headed up to the mountains to try and find some snow to play in. This trip I had my 7 year old son with me and another friend was well in his car. The original plan…
Mt Kosciuszko day trip
This was a day trip I did in November 2007. The NSW snowy mountains are a beautiful area at anytime of year. There are so many areas to discover. You can walk to the top of Mt Kosciuszko from either Charlottes pass or from Thredbo. Thredbo is the easier and shorter route at just over 6km each…
New years in the high country
The High country is a wonderful place at any time of year. Summer is especially nice as even if it is 40degrees in Melbourne, up on the high plains it can be more like 25. Although being the high country the weather can change very quickly. This trip was a boys trip being just me…
Snowy Mountains weekend hike
I don’t think I will ever get tired of exploring the snowy mountains area and this overnight trip to Mt Kosciuszko via Mt Stillwell and the old chairlift ruins. This trip was done as part of an organised guided trip where all camping equipment and food was provided and the camp even set up for…
Litchfield NP a different way
I am not a fan of crowds, trying to squeeze through the masses of terrorists …. I mean tourists to get a glimpse of the attraction is not my idea of fun so for this weekend trip I decided to follow a different route through Litchfield NP.
Instead of heading down to Batchelor to follow…
Alpine climbing in New Zealand
What a great place to be…… sitting on a rock ledge on the edge of the glacier, Pioneer hut is a simple but solid hut to keep climbers safe and warm in the mountains and the views from the front deck are great.
Craig’s Hut Camping weekend
Craig’s Hut is a beautiful place and is a easy weekend or possibly day trip from Melbourne. This trip I did was a camping and relaxing weekend with a couple of mates. The weather for the weekend turned out to be perfect, no clouds, light wind and being the middle of May, cool temperatures. There…
