I had missed out on this trip 12 months ago and was determined to go this time, even if I had to drive all the way there myself.  I actually left the Central Coast at the crack of dawn on Friday morning and met up with Julie to do a run through North Bowen Canyon (what were we thinking!).

Tasmania – Mt Anne Circuit

First of all, we had tacked it on the end of the Rafting the Franklin trip and when that didn’t go ahead we organised other things to do until Mt Anne, then our run of good weather (predictably) changed and I struggled with whether to can the trip or not.
