This was a quick trip down to Maydena to pop up to Abbott's lookout, followed by a bit of a scrubby walk over to Marriott's lookout. Staying at Rathmore Farm the evening before, we drove down to Maydena and even managed a bike ride at Maydena Bike Park!...
Day and Overnight Walks
Here’s where you’ll find all the musings from my various day trips and ‘quick overnighters’. I love getting out for a quick hike or run around Tassie.
Mt Hobhouse
13th October 2019 This is part two of a weekend trip to Tarraleah. To read about our trip to Wentworth Hills on Day 1, visit this link. After a relaxing evening and early night at Tarraleah, we woke early and packed the car up before heading back along Butlers Gorge...
Wentworth Hills
12th October 2019 We had been having a good year escaping to the mountains and Crawf, Woolza and I found another opportune weekend in which to embark upon another Abel Adventure in October. I had the idea a while back that it would be nice to setup a base at the old...
Mt Hobhouse Movie
In October 2019 we managed a couple of nights away to go and climb Wentworth Hills and Mt Hobhouse. Basing ourselves at Tarraleah, we were treated to a couple of fantastic Spring days. https://youtu.be/gATg2soMCsI

Wild Dog Tier
31st August 2019 Well, this one had been on the ‘aiming to do list’ for some time. Back in January 2018, Crawf and I had attempted a very quick overnighter walk to Wild Dog Tier (one evening after work) from the north via Dixons Track. On that occasion we had fallen...
Adamsons Peak – July 2019
Middle of winter in Tasmania means there is little time for Abels. However, this has never put me off and on a work trip to Hobart I found an opportunity at the end of July. I had freed up a day mid week and roped in Ferg and Troy (Hobartian mates) to join me for the...
Abbotts and Marriotts Lookouts
May 2019 We had planned this little sojourn a couple of months prior. Crawf had spotted a free Saturday in his calendar and had asked whether or not a couple of us were keen to join him for a trip to the third shortest and the shortest Abel - Abbotts Lookout and...
Rat’s Castle and Mowser’s Mishap – The Movie
If you've read the blog post, you know what happened. Here is a movie of that fateful trip to Rat's Castle on Tasmania's Central Plateau.
Mt Penny West – 16th April 2018
This year, I had to make a lot of trips from Launceston to Hobart. With constant construction on the main highway, I was enjoying taking the road less travelled over the highland lakes. This also gave me the excuse to knock off a few peaks on the way to Hobart. One...
