Vertigo anyone? 🌊

Incredible footage... highlining at Cape Pillar on the Tasman Peninsula thanks to Ryan Robinson who says:

"We established a line off of the Chasm at Cape Pillar, the tallest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere - 1,000 feet down and 200 feet across!

I lost myself in this powerful place, overcome by its strength and overwhelming presence.

I was a dot in the sky, a hole punched into the draped blue canvas.

And then I walked across the chasm - and found myself again... one of the most incredible places on the planet - Tasmania.

IMPORTANT: I am wearing a safety leash!

The sky is the limit... or is it?"

‘Through the Lens’ Photography series 📸

Today’s ‘Through the Lens’ feature showcases photographer Maddi Todman from She Who Explores.

Maddi says:

My name is Maddi, better known as She Who Explores, a photographer and full-time adventurer, and I recently spent three months living on the road in Tassie.

I would like to pay my respects to the Palawa people of the land of Lutruwita, that I am ever so thankful to explore.

Three months in Tassie has really given me a new found love for my home country. You’re never far from a photo opportunity and epic adventure, from the pristine beaches of the East Coast to the vast, emerald mountain ranges in the West, Tassie really has it all! I was absolutely captivated by the summits of the west and towns such as Queenstown, where I spent a lot of my time on the West Coast, really stole my heart.

Living on the road has been such a breeze in Tasmania, with a variety of free camps both in the mountains and at the oceans doorstep. I highly recommend van life as the best way to explore the island, having the freedom to park up almost wherever I like, and to choose my own daily adventure really made it easy to tick off my bucket list adventures.

Whilst I travel solo, I do offer opportunities to join me on expeditions around AUS.

Jump on my website if you’re keen!

Happy Exploring!
Maddi

WOW... a frozen waterfall ☃️❄️

Check out this amazing footage from Meander Falls 💦

In the heart of the Great Western Tiers is Meander Falls, a pretty special waterfall, that drops an amazing 130 metres over two tiers, in the alpine regions of the Meander River.

The walk commences from the Meander Falls car park area, where various hikes can be taken to this amazing waterfall. The main track to Meander Falls is a 5 to 6 hour return hike that commences at 600 metres above sea level. The track is decent and generally well-marked but is steep in places.

Keep in mind that Meander Falls is located over 1,000 metres above sea level, therefore care needs to be taken to ensure the weather is suitable. At that range snow can occur all year round in the area (how cool is that) so make sure you are well prepared for the trek.

All along the Meander Falls track you will find beautiful highland bush country. You will walk past various cascades and smaller waterfalls, often incredibly photogenic.

During the colder months the walk can be a little more difficult due to ice and snow around the region.

Meander Falls is in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and just 1.5 hrs drive from either Devonport or Launceston.

When considering heading out to Meander Falls please keep in mind that it is a challenging track and subject to severe weather changes. The track is rough and very steep at times plus difficult to navigate when covered in snow. It should only be attempted by experienced bushwalkers. For more information about getting there and an important safety message click on the link below 👇

Please note this walk and surrounding areas is currently closed.

On This Day – 16th May (1922) – Cradle Mountain declared a scenic reserve ⛰

101 years ago today Cradle Mountain was declared a scenic reserve. 💯

"This must be a National Park for the people for all time. It is magnificent, and people must know about it and enjoy it." ~ Gustav Weindorfer on Cradle Mountain 🌿🌲

Gustav Weindorfer had led a campaign to have the Cradle Mountain area declared a National Park since 1910. The Government finally agreed and declared it a scenic reserve and wildlife sanctuary that included 63,900 hectares which took in both Cradle Mountain and the Lake St Clair area. This was only part of the battle as initially there was little funding available. The Scenic Preservation Board, responsible for the Park's management, only had a total budget of 29 pounds in 1925/26.

In 1947 the area was declared a National Park. During this transition, former trappers began building huts and guiding bushwalkers, including Paddy Hartnett, Gustav Weindorfer and Bob Quaile.

Aboriginal use of the Cradle Mountain dates back to the last ice age (10,000 years ago) and is believed to have been non-permanent, consisting mostly of seasonal hunting excursions during the summer months. Several artifacts and campsites containing various stone types and tools have been discovered around Pelion Plains and Lake St Clair, and early surveyors reported huts in the area.

By 2000 the Overland Track, one of the Park's major attractions, had become so popular that a booking system was introduced and fees charged to use in peak periods. The money raised continues to be used to maintain and improve tracks and facilities.

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is a place for all seasons! You can discover deep snowdrifts in winter, spectacular displays of yellows, oranges and reds across the mountain slopes in autumn as Tasmania’s deciduous Fagus turns colour, playful young joeys & hungry echidnas emerging in spring, and the fragrance of wildflowers filling the air as you dip your toe into a crystal-clear lake on a summer’s day.

The area is synonymous with nature, wilderness and all things pristine. Wildlife is in abundance in this spectacular National Park, giving opportunity to encounter Tasmanian devils, quolls, platypus, echidna, wombats and the highly inquisitive black currawong as well as dozens of species of birds.

The Park offers a world-class system of walking tracks to explore that ranges from very short easy strolls to the legendary Overland Track. This 5-6 day hike stretches 80 km from Cradle Mountain through to Lake St Clair and is an unforgettable journey through Tasmania’s alpine heart.

Even if hiking boots and backpacks aren't your thing, you will find it hard to resist the lure of the well-formed tracks that lead you to surprising discoveries. Whichever way you look at it, the magic of Cradle Mountain is bound to captivate.

Beautiful scenes from Pencil Pine Falls, on the aptly named Enchanted Walk, at Cradle Mountain 💦❄

The Enchanted Walk is one that suits all age groups. For company there’s a cascading river, wombat burrows and magical old-growth rainforest. The walk is located in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

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!

The first half of this walk (before the bridge) is sealed and wheelchair accessible, but after the bridge there are a number of steps. There are two accessible picnic areas located next to the visitor centre, both with sheltered picnic tables and BBQs.

New Series – Tassie Feature Story 📰Tasmanian Iconic Walks – Fundraising Walk Preventing Stroke 🚶‍♀️🚶[FUNDRAISING UPDATE]...

New Series – Tassie Feature Story 📰

Tasmanian Iconic Walks – Fundraising Walk Preventing Stroke 🚶‍♀️🚶

[FUNDRAISING UPDATE]

Donations are currently sitting at the $31,800 mark with a few days of fundraising to go. Like to make a donation? We are aiming for $40,000. Here is a link to our online fundraising site (100% of donations are tax deductible):
https://www.mycause.com.au/events/tasmanianiconicwalks

[ORIGINAL STORY posted February 2023]

Today’s story is all about Tasmanian Iconic Walks and their once-a-year fundraising walk. This year all monies raised will go to the Menzies Institute for Medical Research who are developing a free online course called Preventing Stroke and this completely aligns with what we want – a world with zero preventable strokes.

Jo says:
“My Dad did not die from Stroke, and that’s where it all began.”
~ Jo Cordell-Cooper, Founder and Head Trail Blazer of Tasmanian Iconic Walks

When Dad had his first stroke at 62 it took a good 2 years to get Dad back, but what we could not know was that Dad was about to have a second devastating stroke that left him in a very bad situation. He lived another further 4 years in a nursing home, not really knowing us or knowing up from down. It was awful. He passed away in 2015. By 2017 I started to think I might like to create a legacy around helping people rehabilitate from stroke and once I voiced this to a close group of friends, they encouraged me to lead the way.

Here were a few facts:
• I had zero dollars
• I had no idea how to set up an organisation to do this, but I was pretty good at event management

So, my path to success was:
1: Get into and win Survivor (an adventure reality TV show) and prize money $250,000 – (fail) and
2: Get into a Leadership Program (I applied for 2 and didn’t get in . . .fail)

So, with my 2 friends nudging me along (I must add they knew how to set up and organisation like this) I decided to step up and do it anyway! I really wanted to make a difference for Stroke survivors, and together the 3 of us developed Tasmanian Iconic Walks. It has taken us a few years to get our own identity. As we donated 100% of funds raised to Stroke Foundation people thought that they funded us, when in fact we funded Stroke Foundation. We have worked hard to really strengthen our organisation and brand, and now we know exactly who we are and what we stand for and there’s 6 volunteer board members.

What does Tasmanian Iconic Walks stand for?

Each year we offer one fundraising walk – nothing else. We look and act like a professional hiking company, but we just do this one event each year. The last 4 events have been on the Tasman Peninsula, Tasman Arch to Fortescue Bay. We wanted a long, challenging hike for our participants. We wanted our participants to get fit for the event and reduce their own risk of stroke. This year we have changed venue and are offering the choice of 2 hikes at Mount Field National Park, starting April 1. We expect the change of venue will excite our previous participants to come again and do another iconic walk, in beautiful Tasmania.

How much money is raised?

To date we have raised over $165,000 dollars, 100% of this has been donated to national charity Stroke Foundation. Our participants pay to attend, and this keeps our organisation financial, and we did receive a WHITE KNIGHT anonymous donation in 2017. This donation set us up with all our initial operating costs. Our participants raise the dollars that were to be donated. We ran our first event in 2018 and were blown away by the community involvement and money raised was over $26,000, and we got a similar result from our 2019 event. We started to attract stroke survivors – young fit men that do not have the usual stroke risk factors and they have been great ambassadors for Tasmanian Iconic Walks. 2020 – the COVID year – we sold out the event very quickly and raised almost $70,000! It was like the whole Tasmanian community wanted to be involved, do a good deed, donate money. The energy from that event was amazing!!

Where to next?

This year Menzies Institute for Medical Research will be receiving money raised from the event. They are developing a free online course called Preventing Stroke and this completely aligns with what we want – a world with zero preventable strokes!

All I can really say to sum up is this experience is that if you have an idea like this, give it a go. Be prepared to work hard for the first few years, but when you speak from the heart people get on board and do what they can to help you. Be bold, dream big, and make a difference!

A pretty special scene from Mt Paris Dam thanks to Maddie & Greg who says 🌿💦

“Hidden among the ferns and the reclaiming forest you'll find the Mount Paris Dam.

Constructed by hand in 1937, the dam serviced the Mt Paris Mine until it's closure in 1970. The dam was emptied from the 1970’s and in 1985 holes were blasted in the dam wall creating these great doorways to allow for the natural flow of the Cascade River.

You can now stand by the Cascade River, and look upwards in awe at this unique concrete structure surrounded by the wilderness.”

Heading east through Branxholm towards Weldborough in north-east Tasmania, there is a turnoff signposted to Mt Paris Road. A 13 km drive on gravel road, through forests of eucalypt, myrtle and blackwoods, leads you to a small, low signpost, Mt Paris Dam, then a short drive leads to a ‘pull off parking bay’.

For the carpark, a short 100 metre walk will have you standing by the Cascade River, looking upwards in awe at this unique concrete structure now surrounded by wilderness, a sight one must see to believe.

Special Feature: The Age of Visibility 🙋‍♀️🥰

The Age of Visibility, an exciting Tasmanian based anti-ageism project, encourages women to articulate and celebrate the many facets of their unique and individual beauty.

In March 2023, The Age of Visibility launched a new collection which celebrates the beauty and diversity of Tasmanian women of all ages.

For The Age of Visibility’s founder Ally Nischler, it is a ‘labour of love’.

Ally says:

“I have created headpieces constructed from foraged flora and fauna found on the coastline and around the mountain.

The red words call out for representation and visibility in a world that is often youth obsessed. My hope is that these images shine a light on the wisdom, character and fierceness of Tasmanian women and reflect the intricate timeless beauty that exists on our island.”

Here are 4 images from the new collection:

"We are the style makers and rule breakers who refuse to be looked over, around or through. and we want everyone to know that AGEISM will never be fashionable!"

Special Feature: Port Arthur 🏫

The story of the Port Arthur Historic Site, Tasmania is a story of many people, places and moments.

Over its long history, Port Arthur has been a place of hardship and punishment, a place of opportunity, and a place of leisure. Now it is one of Australia’s most important heritage destinations, where the story of Australia’s colonial history is written in stone and brick.

Thousands of sentences were served at Port Arthur between 1830 and 1877. Tasmania had received more than 75,000 convicts in this period. This figure represented 45% of all convicts landed in Australia. These men came from all walks of life and from many parts of the British colony. Some political prisoners, some career criminals and some just boys from the streets who were transported at the tender age of just 9 years old.

During the nearly 50 years Port Arthur was in operation it was a decidedly unpopular posting… no one chose it. The life of the average solider was one of monotony and intense boredom. This often led to tension and frustration in the barracks. The rigid class order was strictly adhered to. The average solider was subjected to the same harsh military discipline that the convicts experienced. Fraternisation with the convicts was strictly prohibited… but despite this there was a thriving black market. And should a regular solider be caught breaking the rules he would be severely flogged and locked in the cells down below. In fact, depending on the infringement the solider could face up to 20 days in solitary confinement.

Visit the site to meet some of the people who have passed through this place, walk where their stories unfolded, and learn about Port Arthur’s evolution from a feared convict settlement to a World Heritage-listed Historic Site and world-class tourist destination.

Purchase a Port Arthur site entry ticket which is valid for two consecutive days. For more information visit:

Port Arthur Historic Site hosts a great range of events and programs all year round – from school holiday activities to performances in the grounds, summer activities, family events and archaeological displays and activities.

Amazing footage from Lake Oberon, part of the Western Arthur Range in the Southwest National Park, thanks to 'Hiking The Globe' who says 🌿💦

"Lake Oberon hike in Tasmania is a challenging and rewarding multi-day trek that takes hikers through stunning alpine landscapes, including vast fields of boulders and rocky outcrops. At the end of the trail, hikers are rewarded with breathtaking views of Lake Oberon and the surrounding wilderness.

Would you hike here?⁣⁣" 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

The challenges of the walk are not to be underestimated, and should be completed only by walkers with significant experience in remote, alpine conditions.

To traverse the rugged Western Arthur Range is considered a major bushwalking challenge and has been undertaken regularly by experienced bushwalkers since the 1960s. Located in Southwest National Park, and part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA), the 69 kilometre Western Arthur Range Traverse covers extensive, rugged topography and funnels walkers through narrow corridors throughout much of the range.

The landscape that contributes to the area's World Heritage values is made up of steep slopes, alpine moorlands and glacial lakes. The ranges are a geological delight, composed almost exclusively of ​​deformed Precambrian quartzite and quartz schist. Walkers will mainly journey through alpine heath and alpine scrub vegetation. Elsewhere, buttongrass heath is widespread and scrub, wet forest and patches of rainforest occur on the lower slopes.

The Western Arthur Range Traverse can be experienced through a range of walk lengths. Those wanting to traverse the entire range will need between 10 to 12 days to complete the circuit. Others may decide to traverse from Alpha Moraine to Kappa Moraine in 5 to 7 days. Those only wishing to walk into Lake Oberon and back will need to set aside 3 to 4 days.

“It’s about switching on in all the fun ways, so you’ll leave feeling connected, informed and enriched.”

The 2023 program offers a diverse range of experiences across culture and arts, food, science and nature – all centred around this year’s theme – Waterbirds.

Patrons will be invited to help built a ningher – a traditional Tasmanian Aboriginal canoe and to then join in song as it floats down the Meredith River ready for the Welcome to Country and Muttonbird dance.

Or they can work with Tasmanian Blacksmith Pete Mattila to forge their own feather, a keepsake of his large Black Swan sculpture commissioned specially for ECHO 2023.

The iconic Native Bounty Feast will be a multi-course degustation of local produce prepared by acclaimed Tasmanian Chef Megan Quill, including wine, with an added program of entertainment. Quill and her team will be cooking up a delightful mix of local and indigenous ingredients with an Eastern European spin.

Friday 31st March is dedicated to the Native Bounty Feast dinner. Gates will be open at 5:00pm.

Saturday 1st April is the main day and evening. Activities start at 10:00am and continue late into the evening.

On Sunday 2nd will have some morning activities until 11am. We then encourage patrons to venture into the local vineyards and regional offerings.

ECHO Festival is an 18+ event.

We can’t wait to see you here! 🤩
