A small climb up on Day 4WESTERN ARTHURS, TASMANIA – FEBRUARY 2010
I’d heard a bit about the Western Arthurs … “fantastic”, “magic trip”, words like that.  I’m not sure I remember whose idea it was, could have been any of us, Peter C, Jeff B or me but I thought if ever I was going to do the trip it had better be now, I wasn’t getting any younger.  Jeff said that he’d be my “support” on the trip, if I really wanted to do it.  But if we did, we’d need to take a tent good enough to withstand all that Tasmania could throw at us, our bomb proof MSR Olympus, weighing in at a massive 3k!  Continue reading →

Ettrema Gorge, a creek which runs through Morton National Park, on its way to the Shoalhaven River … for those “in the know”, this is the ultimate in places to bushwalk, crystal clear pools, towering bluffs, and pockets of rainforest.
And we were here for four days over Easter, life doesn’t get much better than that.  Continue reading →
