Hiking

A wild and woolly afternoon hike up Hartz Peak!

I hiked up to the base of the Organ Pipes on the way back down the mountain following the snowstorm. The towering, columnar dolerite cliffs that form the Pipes are impressive any time of year, but even more so when dusted in snow!

Many thanks to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology for featuring my furry old mate Didj the Kelpie on both their Instagram and Facebook feeds.

You can’t miss the jagged peak of Mt Field West every time you ride at Maydena. At 1434m it towers over the bike park from other side of the Florentine Valley and is often capped in snow, even during Summer. I’d always wondered what it would be like to hike to the top of it!

It’s pretty amazing that with very little time and effort you can get to so many beautiful places in Tasmania.

Perhaps a less popular trail at Cradle Mountain but well worth doing! The views from the top of Hansons Peak are spectacular.

The Tasman Peninsula has got to be Australia’s most stunning coastline! Fortunately for us, much of it is directly accessible by foot in the form of the Three Capes Track.
