Western Arthur Range Part II: Lake Cygnus

April 18, 2024
Part II of my Western Arthurs trip report begins in the mist between Mt Hayes and Lake Cygnus on my return to camp. Mountains are not a great place to be in a hurry. I had been aiming for Lake Oberon but a complaining knee thwarted that plan. My first thoughts were of disappointment but...Read More

Western Arthur Range Part I: Onward and Upward!

April 16, 2024
The Western Arthur Range has long been at the top of my must see locations in Tasmania and with a small group of friends recently I visited the first part of the range over three days, camping two nights at Lake Cygnus. The hike is a real doozy. The first few kilometres start out innocently...Read More

Styx Valley day tours

February 29, 2024
Had a nice day out at Mt Field and the Styx Valley the other day. It is late summer and it has been quite hot and dry, but nevertheless it was a lovely day in the coolish forest. As usual with my day tours we viewed some of the giants from the Styx Bridge, then...Read More

Cape Raoul Lookout

February 8, 2024
Cape Raoul is the third of the Three Capes Track capes, and as I wrote about previously, is a little separate from the two that you visit on the official Three Capes Track. Visiting Cape Raoul involves some extra time and transport. For those short on time, it is well worth the effort to just...Read More

Camera Settings for Photographing the Aurora

November 28, 2023
The final installment of my aurora chasing tips is all about the night of the big shoot. As discussed in part 1 a tripod is a must as is a reasonably wide angle lens. If you are new to manual camera settings it can seem quite daunting but the settings and technique can be summed...Read More

Locations for shooting the aurora in Tasmania

November 20, 2023
Part 3 of my aurora chasers guide is all about location, location, location. And rather than just posting a bullet point list of locations, I’ll talk about how to find your own locations as most of the well known spots can get quite crowded these days as aurora spotting grows in popularity. Aurora Viewing Locations...Read More

When does the aurora appear in Tasmania?

November 10, 2023
Part 2 of my aurora chasers guide is all about what causes the aurora – ie when an aurora might appear in Tasmania. When does the aurora appear in Tasmania? The million dollar question. Unfortunately we cant simply check an upcoming aurora schedule, book a flight to Tassie and sit back and enjoy the show....Read More
