24.01.2022 "Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution." ~ Henry David Thoreau Enjoy these beautiful destinations that will inspire your next adventure Howells Point on Maria Island is without doubt one of Tassies little pieces of paradise, when the gorgeous Lady Aurora shines brightly over Hobart you feel so very privileged, a dramtic view during sunrise over the 220 metre high dolerite cliffs from Devils Gullet in Tassies ...alpine Central Plateau region is definitely worth the trip, seeing dolphins swimming right beside you at Adventure Bay just off the coast of Bruny Island is a magical experience and what more could you ask for than a picture perfect view of the Freycinet Peninsula featuring Mount Mayson and Mount Amos, Hazards Beach, Hazards Lagoon and Wineglass Bay. Then there is the dramatic coastline at the mouth of the Arthur River where our rugged west coast forms the takayna/Tarkine most distant extremity, an awesome view of our Milky Way over the aptly named Mermaids Beach at Bridport on Tassies northern coastline, the pristine beauty of Wineglass Bay on the Freycinet Peninsula will forever be with you, a beautiful lagoon right near Swimcart Beach at the Bay of Fires is all to yourself and what more could you ask for than a picture perfect view of the Freycinet Peninsula featuring Mount Mayson and Mount Amos, Hazards Beach, Hazards Lagoon and Wineglass Bay. Oh and did we mention what a breathtakingly amazing spot Devils Kitchen on the Tasman Peninsula is and the view of The Hazards mountain range overlooking Coles Bay with the hidden gem that is Honeymoon Bay tucked away in the middle will leave you speechless.

24.01.2022 Welcome to todays Winter Wonderland drive up the road to Lake Dobson in the Mt Field National Park There is certainly going to be plenty of snow all across Tasmania this week... the only question is where will you end up? Temperatures are set to plummet at Mt Field with the following overnight minimums forecasted... ... Tonight (-2 degrees), Wednesday (-2), Thursday (-6). Friday (-6), Saturday (-6), Sunday (-6) and Monday (-4) As the winding road ascends through Mount Field National Park the stunning natural flora transforms, offering a constantly changing view as you climb to higher altitudes. Known as the park for all seasons, Mount Field is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and home to some of the worlds tallest eucalypt forests, as well as a unique array of alpine vegetation. Mount Field National Park is one of Tasmanias oldest national parks and is also one of its most diverse. Spectacular glaciated landscapes compete for attention with cascading waterfalls, including the breathtaking, three-tiered Russell Falls - arguably one of the most impressive waterfalls in Tasmania. Begin your Mount Field visit with a leisurely walk through the towering tree ferns and giant eucalypts on the short walk to Russell Falls, before travelling up the road toward Lake Dobson, where you will find longer day walks and, in winter, the snow-dusted slopes of the Mount Mawson ski field.

24.01.2022 Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson During sunset from The Neck on Bruny Island you can’t help but lose yourself in the sheer beauty of the moment, Jeanneret Beach is a little piece of east coast Tasmanian paradise, it’s hard not to believe in magic when places like Cradle Mountain exist, the sight of soft tree ferns through the ancient Trowutta Arch is irresistible, the Narawntapu National Park coastline in northern Tasmania has... a view to dazzle and a walk along the Organ Pipe Track on kunanyi/Mt Wellington offers a stunning spot to capture the endemic Tasmanian Waratah in full flower with the Organ Pipes as a background. Federation Peak in our Southwest National Park is a truly remarkable landscape that marks the end of the Eastern Arthur Range, the striking and glorious Cape Hauy on the Tasman Peninsula is part of the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere, at Mt Field you get to come face to face with ‘Butterball’ the young echidna, Hobart’s Cascade Brewery offers a classical foreground as the sun sets over the backdrop of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, it’s an intriguing sight to see what comes ashore down at Burnie’s beach during sunrise and the warm glow of the ‘Flinders Wharf’ beach at sunset with Mount Strezlecki in the background will stay with you forever. Oh and did we mention that one of the most enjoyable past times is simply the pleasure of witnessing the local fur seals at Binalong Bay who are just soaking up the afternoon sun in the shallows and Flinders Island has it all the white sandy beaches of the Tasman Peninsula, the pink granite mountains of Freycinet, and the rich orange lichen boulders of Bay of Fires.

23.01.2022 Check out mum and bub wombat having a play at Cradle Mountain what a rare moment to capture Cradle Mountain and wombats are synonymous with each other... you are pretty sure to come across them They are common around the accommodation places like Highlanders, Discovery Holiday Park, the Lodge, the Hotel and Cradle Wilderness Village There are also plenty of tracks where they are regularly seen including the Enchanted Forest Walk, Ronny Creek, Crater Lake, Dove Lake and... of course Wombat Pool. The wombat is the largest burrowing mammal in the world. Wombats often dig their burrows in the areas above creeks and gullies. Burrows can be up to 20 metres long and more than 2 metres below the ground. Wombats can quickly dig complicated burrows due to their strong legs and sharp claws... then they can push loosened soil away with their hind feet. Some wombats even have their burrows interconnecting! Did you also know that the entrance to the female wombats pouch actually faces backwards. This is to prevent dirt from entering when they are burrowing. The Tasmanian Wombat averages 85 cm in length and 20 kg in weight. Although you are likely to come across wombats at all times of the day the best times are during dusk and dawn. Did you also know that wombats are the only animal in the world that produce cubed-shaped poo!!! They can actually pass up to 100 deposits of poop a night but why. For some time scientists have believed that they stack their cube-shaped poo to stop it rolling around and therefore mark their territory. Whilst this is true it has recently been found that the cube shape is more related to the dry environments most wombats live in. Therefore they have to really squeeze every drop of moisture out of their food. This coupled with the fact that wombat intestines have a shape unlike any other animal. This includes two distinct ravine-like grooves, where the intestine is stretchier, which helps shape wombat poo into a cube. Thanks to Carrie Zeng for sharing her amazing video.

23.01.2022 Check out this gorgeous baby wombat, exploring his surroundings before heading back to his burrow, on the Freycinet Peninsula thanks to Adri who says Definitely made my day & put a tick on the bucket list. The wombat (Vombatus ursinus) is the largest burrowing herbivorous mammal. Indeed, it is such an accomplished burrower that early settlers called it a 'badger', a term that is still heard today. With its short tail and legs, characteristic waddle and 'cuddly' appearance..., the wombat is one of the most endearing of Australia's native animals. The Tasmanian Wombat averages 85 cm in length and 20 kg in weight. Wombats often dig their burrows in the areas above creeks and gullies. Burrows can be up to 20 metres long and more than 2 metres below the ground, and have numerous connecting tunnels and entrances. There may also be more than one nest in the burrow, which they make from sticks, leaves and grasses. Cradle Mountain and wombats are synonymous with each other... you are pretty sure to come across them They are common around the accommodation places like Highlanders, Discovery Holiday Park, the Lodge, the Hotel and Cradle Wilderness Village There are also plenty of tracks where they are regularly seen including the Enchanted Walk, Ronny Creek, Crater Lake, Dove Lake and of course Wombat Pool. Wombats are also common all around the Freycinet Peninsula and Maria Island.

22.01.2022 Special Video Feature: Jumping for Joy at Parsons Falls In the alpine region of the Central Plateau, behind the Great Western Tiers, is Parsons Falls. At 1030 metres above sea level, Parsons Falls is subject to SNOW and ice any time of the year. In warmer weather, it makes for a decent small walk that can be accomplished in a few hours (if youre fit and agile). From Lake Mackenzie Road, just 150 metres from Lake Mackenzie itself, is a vehicle track on the right. A short d...rive up this track is a gated area, where the walk begins. On this walk there are various other tracks that can be taken by hikers wishing to explore more of the Central Plateau. To reach Parsons Falls, follow the walk along the vehicle track for approximately 2kms. You will reach an intersection with some channels of flowing water beside you. You must turn right, and head northwards towards Fisher River. Your walk will take you along large pipelines, down a steep staircase before reaching Fisher River. Once you reach the river, you need to walk downstream a short distance to reach the very top of Parsons Falls. Access to the bottom of the waterfalls is tricky and hazardous, due to the steepness of the terrain, and the lack of formal tracks. To your left looking downstream from near the top of the falls, some pink ribbons mark the start of the route to the base of the falls, which descends steeply before coming out at the large rocks slabs and impressive pool of Parsons Falls. This walk is not recommended for unfit people, or people who lack confidence with their abilities to negotiate steep terrain. For more information on nearly 200 waterfalls throughout Tasmania click on the link below https://waterfallsoftasmania.com.au/waterfalls Thanks to Brandon Shearer for sharing his adventures.

The walk described here is from the lower car park. Beginning from the southern end of the Gulf Road Picnic Area, the trail follows the eastern bank of the Liffey River through ancient myrtle forests. After 1km the river is crossed via a bridge and the trail continues on the western bank. For the next 1.5km the trail darts between lush tree ferns and the river before crossing another bridge. From here the trail begins to gently ascends through rainforest littered with ferns. Note that sections of the track may be muddy during wetter months. After about 1km, the Liffey Falls are reached via a short side track. Broken into two main tiers, the Falls are a magnificent sight with water sourced from the Great Western Tiers surging over the sandstone edge. Continuing further on the main track, the Spout cascade is seen next from a well-constructed viewing platform. For those wishing to continue further, the top picnic area can be reached via a winding 1km track and makes a suitable break spot. Toilet and barbecue facilities can be found here.

15.01.2022 Check out this gorgeous wombat, zigzagging along a snow-covered track at Cradle Mountain, then stops for a little yawn half way along, before finding his warm burrow and popping in for a little nap Thanks to Piotr Babis for sharing his very cute video. Piotr says: "Winter wonderland in a wombat country." ... The wombat is the largest burrowing mammal in the world. Wombats often dig their burrows in the areas above creeks and gullies. Burrows can be up to 20 metres long and more than 2 metres below the ground. Wombats can quickly dig complicated burrows due to their strong legs and sharp claws... then they can push loosened soil away with their hind feet. Some wombats even have their burrows interconnecting! DId you also know that the entrance to the female wombats pouch actually faces backwards. This is to prevent dirt from entering when they are burrowing. The Tasmanian Wombat averages 85 cm in length and 20 kg in weight. Although you are likely to come across wombats at all times of the day the best times are during dusk and dawn. Cradle Mountain and wombats are synonymous with each other... you are pretty sure to come across them They are common around the accommodation places like Highlanders, Discovery Holiday Park, the Lodge, the Hotel and Cradle Wilderness Village There are also plenty of tracks where they are regularly seen including the Enchanted Forest Walk, Ronny Creek, Crater Lake, Dove Lake and of course Wombat Pool.

11.01.2022 Cuteness overload This Platypus was busy moving from puddle to puddle across the grasses beside the Tyenna River at Mount Field National Park. Thanks to Wild Ways Tours who says: "After the river had flooded over the bank the waters depth became a bit inconvenient for the local Platypus, and as I predicted we began to see more on-land activity from these curious creatures. This is typical behavior for Platypus. When river currents become much stronger than usual and depths ...exceed around 3 meters, Platypus have to expend even more energy in hunting their prey, which is found amongst the rocks and organic matter that sits along the river bed. Though they are incredibly strong and expert swimmers, like most wildlife species the Platypus will seek out the best opportunity for themselves." Other great spots to seek out this beautiful and rare creature are: - Beauty Point in the Tamar Valley north of Launceston - The creeks and rivers around Stanley - Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park - A short drive from Burnie to the Fernglade Reserve (the reserve at the end of the road is the best location, but platypus can be found right along the creekline) - At Westerway beside the Tyenna River on the way to Mount Field National Park, platypus are common in the river, and in the creeks of the park itself - At Loongana south of Ulverstone, if you stay at Mountain Valley Wilderness cabins youre certain to be shown platypus in the Leven River that flows through the property. (As well as having Tassie devils feed outside your door) - At Waratah in the north-west, the old quarry in the centre of town has been landscaped into a scenic lake and is a reliable place to see platypus in the morning and evening. Go to the southern side of the lake away from the main street and. if nothing else, youll be able to take a photo of the "Platypus Crossing" road sign You can also follow Wild Ways Tours via instagram www.instagram.com/wildwaystours We love to share your Tassie videos, photos and stories with the world You can inbox us or post to our wall.

08.01.2022 Special Video Feature: Cape Hauy on the Tasman Peninsula... at 900 feet the highest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere Cape Hauy is the most well-known and accessible walk from Fortescue Bay located within the Tasman National Park and rightly so, it is a well-constructed trail with fantastic views on offer throughout its duration. The 8km return walk from the cape can be completed in 4 hours though additional time is recommended to take in the extensive views of the coas...t and astonishing cliff faces. Starting from the boat ramp end of Fortescue Bay, the Cape Hauy trail heads east following the rocky coastline via a wide and well-constructed track. After 15 minutes of skirting the coast the trail then climbs inland. The track continues to climb for the next kilometre, leaving the She Oaks and Banksias of the lower coastline, entering dry sclerophyll forest. Two flat scrublands are then passed before the track climbs again, reaching a trail sign pointing south to Cape Pillar. Continuing past on the left-hand side of the sign the track begins to descend to the cape. Quickly, the forest opens up presenting you with the undulating slopes of Cape Hauy, with the walking track-etched deeply into it. The first scramble down onto the cape is the steepest of the days hiking but is easily managed. Once at the top of the first saddle extensive panoramic views stretch far north past the Forester coast to Maria Island and south, detailing the ridges of Cape Pillar. For the next 1km, the trail rises and falls over the remaining two saddles, passing a large sinkhole on the left. Towards the end, the track borders close to the cliffs edge, providing thrilling views down at multiple points. The final segment of the trail, before reaching a large plateau, is quite steep and narrow care. Once at the end you are able to clearly view the exceptional rock formations of the Candlestick and Totem Pole, large columns of dolerite rocking out of the ocean. The Hippolytes, a large section of rock also sits severed from the mainland just east of you. When returning to the trail head via the same route, a short and worthwhile detour can be made to Monument Lookout via the Cape Pillar trail, 20 minutes return from the sign. The 200m high sheer cliff of Monument Lookout can easily be found, though it is not clearly sign posted. From here exceptional views of Cape Hauy and the Hippolytes can be seen, along with Cape Pillar and Tasman Island. Thanks to Ash Baldwin for sharing his adventures.

07.01.2022 What we see depends mainly on what we look for. ~ John Lubbock If it is nature, wildlife and unforgettable memories you seek than the following awaits you in your travels throughout the wild lands of Tasmania Pristine views of the Queen River and surrounding wilderness on our West Coast, little joeys popping their heads out of mumma’s pouch to say hello at Fortescue Bay on the Tasman Peninsula, long walks through giant trees which surround the gravel road to Darlington ...on Maria Island, the iconic ‘Candlestick’ dolerite sea cliff on the Tasman Peninsula, you can stand in awe looking through the trees at the turquoise waters of Coles Bay and what says romance more than ‘Romeo’ the albino wallaby standing on a blanket of Pink Camelia petals waiting for his ‘Juliet’ on Bruny Island. The stunning Southport Lagoon Conservation Area on Tassie’s south-east coast, Junee Cave State Reserve with her beautiful lush green forests just south of Mt Field, an extraordinary sunrise over ‘The Hazards’ Mountain Range in the Freycinet National Park, the most scenic and wild coastline of the Arthur-Pieman Conversation Area and sometimes, the most unbelievable views impose themselves to your eyes the moment you expect the least especially when you arrive at Wineglass Bay. Oh and did we mention we share a dolphin calf breaching the water right next to mum in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel just off Bruny Island and you really have to see Picnic Rocks Beach in the Mount William National Park on Tassie’s northern coastline to realise how beautiful it is.

07.01.2022 Amazing footage from Meander Falls today... surrounded by frozen ice and snow Thanks to Dave Schapp for sharing his incredible adventures. Dave says: "Sometimes you just have to take a day off work and visit a frozen waterfall." ... In the heart of the Great Western Tiers is Meander Falls, a large waterfall in the alpine regions of the Meander River. Located over 1000 metres above sea level, snow can occur all year round in the area (how cool is that!). The walk commences from the Meander Falls carpark area, where various different hikes can be taken to Meander Falls. The main track to Meander Falls is a 6.5 hour return hike the commences at 600 metres above sea level. The track is decent and well marked in most places, but is steep in places. The Meander Falls walk takes you through beautiful highland bush country. Meander in fact could quite possibly be used to not only describe the falls, but also the leisurely pace you would set to full enjoy the walk away from the more heavily populated tracks. Meander Falls is in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and just an hours drive from either Devonport or Launceston.

05.01.2022 The Gordon River at its mesmerising best thanks to Andrew McRae Descending 570 metres over a 172 km course, the Gordon River is a major perennial river that travels through wilderness world heritage areas of the central highlands, southwest and western regions of Tasmania, rising up below Mount Hobhouse in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National park. Fed with water from Lake Pedder, the river flows to the west of the Gordon Range. The Gordon River then passes through the... Gordon Splits, which was once considered unpassable until 1958 when conservationist and photographer Olegas Truchanas navigated the Gordon River via kayak for the first time. From here, the river flows north and due west to reach the mouth of the Macquarie Harbour at Wrights Bay. Due to the absorption of tanning from the button grass growing around the river, the water almost looks like a weak black tea... the kind your grandmother would have with her afternoon apricot slice. The water, however, is completely fresh and perfectly drinkable. This beautiful wilderness was also home to political controversy in the 1980s. The Franklin Dam project was a proposed dam on the Gordon River that was never constructed. The movement that eventually led to the projects cancellation became of the most significant environmental campaigns in Australian history.

03.01.2022 What a beautiful surprise... your friendly local guide, Cinnamon, coming to greet you to show you the way around the aptly named Enchanted Forest Walk at Cradle Mountain Thanks to Photography By Nikki Long who says: "We really do live in a beautiful state and I love sharing it with you all." The Enchanted Forest Walk is a 1.6 km, 40 minute (return) walk suitable for all age groups. For company there is a cascading river, wombat burrows and magical old-growth rainfor...est. The walk will take you through buttongrass moorland before entering cool temperate rainforest along the edges of Pencil Pine Creek. Along the track are three interpretive tunnels that kids and kids at heart will find fun to crawl through! Along the western bank of the Pencil Pine Creek you will come across several wombat burrows just on the edge of the track. Wombats do occur in the area, although you are more likely to see them around dusk and dawn. The wombat is the largest burrowing mammal. Wombats often dig their burrows in the areas above creeks and gullies. Burrows can be up to 20 m long and more than 2 m below the ground. The Tasmanian Wombat averages 85 cm in length and 20 kg in weight. Cradle Mountain and wombats are synonymous with each other... you are pretty sure to come across them They are common around the accommodation places like Highlanders, Discovery Holiday Park, the Lodge, the Hotel and Cradle Wilderness Village There are also plenty of tracks where they are regularly seen including the Enchanted Forest Walk, Ronny Creek, Crater Lake, Dove Lake and of course Wombat Pool.

03.01.2022 "Catch me if you can!" Check out this gorgeous platypus at Deloraine, in north-west Tassie, thanks to local Anne Gilles who says: "Last light, about to turn for home and this little chap pops up in front of me... as speedy on land as in the water! Such marvellous creatures" ... Platypus are common in Tasmania’s creeks and rivers and are relatively easy to find if you are patient. They prefer the protection of wider creeks, with a good flow of water and need vegetation and earth banks to enable them to dig their camping and nesting burrows. The best time to look for them is early morning or late afternoon. Stand or sit quietly among the trees and bushes on the creek bank and watch the surface of the water, especially up close to the banks, for their tell-tale ripples. Patience will be rewarded Latrobe calls itself the Platypus Capital of the World because they’re so common there. Just head down Hamilton Street off the main street (Jojo's on the corner) to Warrawee Reserve. The reserve is only a kilometre or so from the centre of town. The road follows the river. There’s no need to go all the way to the reserve; just stop near the big rocks beside the road just past the intersection with the old Deloraine road. Look for tell-tale ripples near the bank and watch patiently Other great spots to seek out this beautiful and rare creature are: Beauty Point in the Tamar Valley north of Launceston The creeks and rivers around Stanley Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park A short drive from Burnie to the Fernglade Reserve (the reserve at the end of the road is the best location, but platypus can be found right along the creekline) At Westerway beside the Tyenna River on the way to Mount Field National Park, platypus are common in the river, and in the creeks of the park itself At Loongana south of Ulverstone, if you stay at Mountain Valley Wilderness cabins you're certain to be shown platypus in the Leven River that flows through the property. (As well as having Tassie devils feed outside your door) At Waratah in the north-west, the old quarry in the centre of town has been landscaped into a scenic lake and is a reliable place to see platypus in the morning and evening. Go to the southern side of the lake away from the main street and. if nothing else, you'll be able to take a photo of the "Platypus Crossing" road sign You can also follow Anne via instagram www.instagram.com/agillies62 We love to share your Tassie videos, photos and stories with the world You can inbox us or post to our wall.

02.01.2022 Beautiful footage of Waratah Falls thanks to Ness from madNESS Photography Located in the town of the same name, Waratah Falls is adjacent to the Savage River National Park in north-west Tasmania. Waratah sits near the edge of a plateau about 600 metres above sea level. This may not be obvious when driving across the tableland into Waratah, but parts of the town have views down valleys which give a sense of this elevation. Other parts of the town, and the surrounding farm l...and, border onto rainforest belonging to the takayna/Tarkine wilderness The Waratah River forms a lake in the middle of town, before plunging over the top edge of the plateau as a substantial waterfall right next to the main road. What other town can claim a waterfall in the town centre? if you like visiting small towns which feel remote and relatively unaffected by tourism, then Waratah is one of the easiest to get to. Tourists on the well travelled route between the west coast and the north coast, or Cradle Mountain, tend not to make the detour to Waratah, even though its only a short detour from the main highway. Waratah Falls provides a very picturesque view for picnickers and photographers from Kings Bridge or the grand old Bischoff Hotel. There is also a short walking track (20 to 30 minutes return) that takes you right to the base of this magnificent waterfall. Happy exploring You can also follow Ness via instagram and her website www.instagram.com/madnessphotos http://www.madnessphotography.com.au/ We love to share your Tassie videos, photos and stories with the world You can inbox us or post to our wall.
