Lake St Clair and Western Wilderness

Leeawuleena – Sleeping Water Art Exhibition, Lake St Clair

June 3, 2014

Leeawuleena is the name that the Tasmanian Aboriginies knew Lake St Clair by. Meaning “Sleeping Water” it is the inspiration behind a new art exhibition to be held at the Lake St Clair Visitor Centre which will run from Friday June 6 to Sunday June 15. I am very pleased to also be contributing a...Read More

Fagus 2014 Part II: Tyndall Range, Western Tasmania

May 8, 2014

My second fagus spotting trip of 2014 was to the Tyndall Range in Western Tasmania. The track starts from the B28 Anthony Link Rd which takes you through some magic mountain scenery between Queenstown and Tullah. The fagus has turned somewhat later than usual this year but is at its peak right now in the...Read More

Tasmanian Waterfalls: Nelson Falls

June 13, 2012

Nelson Falls is a perfect spot to break up the long drive through Tasmania’s World Heritage Area on the way to/from Tasmania’s West Coast. The walk is flat, along boardwalk and is no more than 10 minutes each way. The track follows Nelson Creek to a viewing platform right in front of one of the best Tasmanian waterfalls. The creek...Read More

Photographing Tasmania’s Fagus on Mt Murchison (Part II)

April 27, 2012

I followed up my brief visit to Mt Murchison from early this month with another trip on Anzac Day to photograph Tasmania’s autumn leaves. There was still plenty of yellow leaves to be found, although perhaps the peak has passed – there are also now plenty of bare branches meaning that winter is getting closer –...Read More

Autumn in Tasmania: Fagus on Mt Murchison

April 11, 2012

Autumn has arrived on Mt Murchison, on Tasmania’s West Coast. Located right behind the small town of Tullah, Mt Murchison is a particularly rewarding walk, as it is the only place where all the mountains of Tasmania’s world famous Overland Track can be seen from outside the national park. Autumn is a particularly beautiful time...Read More

Wilderness Tasmania: Mt Rufus

October 23, 2011

A beautiful “Wilderness Tasmania” shoot – evening atop Mt Rufus in central Tasmania. The peak is above 1400m high, but the conditions were calm and serene for this visit earlier in the year. This is the view south over the King William Range. There are very few tracks south of here, and Mt Rufus really is...Read More

Tasmania’s Best 5 Photography Locations: Cradle Mt and Lake St Clair

July 10, 2011

Welcome to Part 5 of my best Tassie Photography locations. I have to admit being somewhat torn here, not being able to decide whether one of Cradle Mt/Dove Lake or the Lake St Clair area should get a stand alone gong or not… Since they are part of the same national park (don’t worry that it...Read More

Pine Valley & The Labyrinth Tasmania

April 10, 2011

The Labyrinth Tasmania is a maze of tarns, lakes and fantastically named mountains in the heart of Tasmania’s wilderness. Access is via Lake St Clair and Pine Valley. In order to save 6 hours of walking time it is not a bad idea to catch the Lake St Clair ferry service which will run you...Read More

Mt Rufus at Lake St Clair

January 19, 2011

Following on from my previous trip to Lake St Clair and Echo Point we took some time over New Year to visit Mt Rufus, and with a careful eye on the weather websites (Elders usually does the job for me – although lately they have stopped giving forecasts for regional towns and various mountaintops) we picked a couple...Read More

Lake St Clair

December 10, 2010

Lake St Clair is not just the end of the Overland Track, but one of Tasmania’s greatest buswalking and scenic areas. The rainforest walk from Cynthia Bay to Narcissus Hut, with panoramic views of Lake St Clair and Mt Ida, is a great way to introduce yourself to the park, with panoramic views from Echo Point...Read More
