My name’s Matthew but my friends call me Mowser.
I’ve lived in Tasmania, Australia my entire life. I love the place and I love hiking. I believe Tassie has some of the best hiking/bushwalking in the world. I like to share this fact with my wife and four kids as well as our many friends by revealing to them this amazing landscape and what it has to offer.
I also like tech and hiking gear.
I created this site, to share my love of Tasmania, hiking and the gear required to complete my adventures. If you can’t get to these places yourself then I hope this site provides you with some inspiration for what the Tasmanian Wilderness has to offer – It really is an incredible place! Enjoy!

Abbott’s and Marriott’s Lookout Day Trip MOVIE
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!...

The Southern Ranges 2020
I have spent a heck of a lot of time in Southern and South West Tassie but for some reason I had never walked the Southern Ranges between Precipitous Bluff (PB) and Lune River. Sure, I’d been up PB from New River Lagoon in a day trip back on the South West Epic but I’d never actually done the whole Southern Ranges walk. It had been an itch I had been trying to scratch for a long time.
