Fungi along the Overland Track

February 25, 2018
The last couple of days of rain have gotten me thinking about the cooler autumn months which are not far away now. One of the main highlights of autumn for me is the fungi, and I schedule all of my photography workshops through autumn to share this wonderful time of year with people. Here are...Read More

Overland Track Aurora – November 2015

September 29, 2017
These Overland Track aurora photos were taken back in November 2015, on the first night of my walk down the track with the Cradle Mountain Huts guided walk. The aurora appeared right on dusk, and indeed it was hard to distinguish the aurora from the twilight glow in my first test shots earlier in the...Read More

A night at Narcissus Hut, Lake St Clair

August 25, 2017
Narcissus Hut is the last hut on Tasmania’s Overland Track. Most walkers stay the last night at Windy Ridge, however, and use Narcissus Hut as a shelter in inclement weather when waiting for the ferry ride back to Cynthia Bay. On my last trip down the Overland Track in May, I stayed one night at...Read More

Dawn shoot on the Pelion Plains

July 25, 2017
On my recent trip down the Overland Track I stayed a couple of nights at the “Palace” – the rather large hut on Pelion Plains. The plan was to capture some nice sunrise and sunset shots across to Mt Oakleigh. I have climbed Mt Oakleigh before – but never shot it! After arriving in mist...Read More

Barn Bluff is first spotted just beyond Marions Lookout in the distance beyond Cradle Mountain. As a day-walk, it would be a very long day and only...Read More

December 2, 2015
Day 4 begins at the Pelion Hut, and includes the highlight of the trip – the summit of Mt Ossa, Tasmania’s highest mountain! This part of the track is a part I have visited before. If you don’t have a week or so to traverse the entire Overland Track, there is a short cut into...Read More

Overland Track – Day 3: Mt Oakleigh & Pelion Plains

Day 3 on the Cradle Mountain Huts Overland Track hike traverses some magnificent mountain scenery including Mt Pelion West and Mt Oakleigh. Departing the cozy hut on Pine Forest Moor, we continue south and soon enter some tall forest. Here we see historic remains of an old tram way, which was originally intended to cart...Read More

The walk contains truly magnificent mountain and rainforest scenery, including Tasmania’s tallest peak, Mt Ossa which is 1617 metres high.
