Whimsical Whitsunday Wanderings and Wondrous Whitehaven Wayfaring

It is remarkable a country with such an abundance of coastline contains such diversity of coastal character. Craggy pebble beaches of Tasmania and the fine snow-like sands of far north Queensland could not differ more. 

If you can navigate around the rambunctious british backpackers, the landscapes and beaches of the Whitsundays are proper world class.

Escaping everyday entrapments and exploring entrancing woodlands

 The motivation to explore and to discover, I find, is not at all times constitutional to our state of being. But that we sometimes need to exercise our discipline to go fourth and seek, search, and unearth the extraordinary things that lie just beyond the corner. 

To summon an impetus that starts our journey, knowing that once in motion we may find such joy and wonder that we may never wish to stop...

Where have you been little bottle? Tell me of all the walls you have climbed and crags you have seen

Convicts and Clouds, Sandstone and Sailing - A brief history of Hobart

Hobart is an incredible city and impossible to appreciate in just one week. For bold sandstone buildings, seafood and coffee, it is world class. 

To see: Port Arthur, Battery Point and Salamanca Markets, MONA art gallery

To stay: Centre of Hobart city is best for transport and views

To eat: Jackman & McRoss bakery, any seafood by the harbour, innumerable boutique cafes

Chapter 1: Port Arthur

Chapter 2: The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens

Chapter 3: Mount Wellington

It's that time of year again; the season for climbing!

Summer has come and brought with it a mixed bag of tropical rainstorms, fry-an-egg-on-your-bonnet heat, and dry refreshing sendage breeze - in vastly unpopular ratios. Making the most of the weather windows is the art, and finding someone silly enough to give you a catch is the science. 

Also wishing everyone a happy xmas and new years, send hard :)

Where is Spot?

Splashin' in the Golf Course Fishbowl. 

Powder stretches in every direction, lines are bold and carves are deep. Cheeky boulders are now submerged and shrubbery is scattered like broccoli above a sea of vanilla clouds. Complete creative freedom is bestowed on those who venture this wide from the groomers with more pristine backcountry discovered every run. Park riding can wait.
