East Cloudy Head is our stunning walk on day two of our Bruny Island Long Weekend. We take in sweeping views of Tasmania’s far south and the wild Southern Ocean. The five-hour (14km) journey begins by walking the length of Cloudy Bay Beach.

Tim from Tasmania - photography couldn't have said and captured it better, "The most glorious memory of the wonderful Overland Track, one of the best multi-day hikes in Tasmania, Australia. Waking up to a winter wonderland in an ancient, unspoilt landscape. Such a blessing to be there."
You never know the weather you will encounter year round on the Overland Track but there is beauty in all conditions. Would you agree?
Begin day three of our Kangaroo Island Signature Walk at an iconic Kangaroo Island site, the spectacular granite formations of the Remarkable Rocks. Shaped by the forces of wild weather over millions of years, it’s the perfect spot to capture your iconic Kangaroo Island photo in front of the orange lichen covered rocks. Follow the cliff edges with unobstructed views along 8kms of the southern coast of Kangaroo Island ending at Sanderson Bay.

Have you been lucky enough to spot a Koala on Kangaroo Island?
Koalas were not on Kangaroo Island at the time of European settlement, and in the 1920s 18 koalas were released in Flinders Chase National Park to save their declining mainland population.

With its turquoise waters and soft, rich sand, Crescent Bay is just around the corner from our Tasman Camp. On a clear day you can see Tasman Island and the striking cliffs of Cape Pillar. Spend some time soaking up the sun's rays, watching the waves lap on the shoreline and admiring the heights of the surrounding sand dunes before joining up with our private track and continuing through to Tasman Camp.

After a quick briefing in Alice Springs on the first morning, we head out towards the red ridges of Tjoritja / The West MacDonnell Ranges to start our walking adventure at Standley Chasm. After a visit to the peaceful narrow gorges the guides will take you off the beaten track into a portion of section 3 of the Larapinta trail. This is our only opportunity to visit the rugged Chewings Range section of the trail, a less accessible part of Tjoritja / The West MacDonnell Ranges but well worth the effort.

This extended getaway combines our three-day island walk with a Private Farm Feast at Matthew Evans and Sadie Chrestman's Fat Pig Farm in the Huon Valley.

Our private farm feast unfolds amidst the rustic charm of the farm, featuring a leisurely long lunch paired with exquisite drinks. Hosted by Matthew and Sadie, the experience includes an immersive farm tour and an exclusive tasting of their handcrafted farm treats.

.alexander.visuals beautifully captured an adorable rare White Bennett's Wallaby. A genetic mutation in the Bennett's Wallaby has thrown off the balance of melanin in these little marsupials causing them to become albino. A lack of predators has helped the survival of this unique population making Bruny Island the only place in the world to see them!
Humpback and Southern right whales have begun their long northward migration from polar waters and will be sighted regularly off the Tasmanian coast between May and December each year. Have you spotted them yet?
It's officially WINTER! Are you a winter lover or already looking forward to warmer days ahead?

Ormiston Gorge to the Finke River offers a longer day of exploring the ranges on our Larapinta Signature Walk, where you can move through the landscape at your own pace. Heading west from Ormiston Gorge we wander through the undulating foothills of the range. Views back towards Ormiston in the morning light are an absolute delight, and ahead you will see the majestic Rwetyepme / Mt Sonder.

Day 6 of our Cradle Mountain Signature Walk takes us through some of the oldest forest in the National Park, with King Billy pines as much as 2000 years old. Now, we are above the Mersey River, which descends deeply northward towards Bass Strait, spilling down cliff faces and over three major sets of waterfalls in the area. We aim to visit one or more of these, choosing the best to have lunch beside depending on conditions.

Our Tasman Camp is secluded accommodation on private coastal land. Our camp represents the perfect place to retreat. Although the camp has been built completely off the grid, we are not without our creature comforts including hot showers, which is well appreciated after a long day of walking. With most of our days spent in wild, powerful, coastal places, our camp is a sanctuary we can return to at the end of day one and two, gathering in the dining room and sharing food and stories from the day.
Our Three Capes Adventure Walk and Three Capes Long Weekend are the two walks that use this accommodation.
On Bruny Island your day might begin with a gentle thumping past your tent. While the inquisitive wallaby isn’t your wake up call, his visit, or the promise of warm croissants might lure you from your crisp sheets to reunite with us at the rustic wooden dining table once more. A start to your day of adventure you're not going to forget.

Wake up on the final day of our Kangaroo Island Signature Walk to a hot breakfast, followed by a short shuttle to the start of today’s walk from Kelly Hill Conservation Park, home to mesmerizing ancient caves that often serve as a habitat for threatened and endangered animal species. You'll spend the day walking through bushland, en route to Hanson Bay Beach. You will be treated to lunch, a celebratory drink and nibbles as we debrief at Kangaroo Island Spirits before being collected for the return journey back to Adelaide.

Over breakfast on day 5 of our Wineglass Bay Signature Walk we decide whether we ascend Mt Graham and take the high route to Wineglass Bay or opt for the less challenging but equally stunning coastal section of the Freycinet Peninsula circuit track. The former sees us head inland from the shores of Cooks Beach and ascend through tall Tasmanian Blue Gum forests before traversing the button grass fields of the East Freycinet Saddle, dotted with seasonal wildflowers. The trail descending from Mt Graham and Mt Freycinet takes in spectacular coastal views including iconic Wineglass Bay.

Did you know Cradle Mountain has four named peaks; Cradle Mountain (1545m), Smithies Peak (1527m), Weindorfers Tower (1459m) & Little Horn (1355m) in order from right to left, with Weindorfers Tower and Little horn flanking the iconic cradle.
Day 5 is a real highlight of the Larapinta Trail Signature Walk, as we climb to the peak of Rwetyepme/Mount Sonder. This morning is an early start. The first hour walking is in the pre-dawn and we watch the country waking up. We wind steadily uphill for 3km through the shadows of Eucalypt and Acacia. The early start is easily worth it as we gain a saddle to watch the sun rise.

"Slow travel is always my favorite way to see special places - and to spend three days on lunawanna allonah (Bruny Island) @tasmania recently, doing @taswalkingco ‘s ‘Bruny Island Long Weekend’ was just magic. ⛰️ Exquisite wild places, deep forests, secret spots and expert guides who could ID every bird, fungi, fern and tree as we walked (best ever). Fuelled by delicious, local food - on cliff tops, at the water’s edge, by the campfire, and under a moonlit sky. ⛺️ And luxe, off-grid ‘camping’ at the end of each day. Mmmhmm. It was delightful."

Tim from Tasmania - photography met the resident Windermere Wombat on the Overland Track. As you can see it really wanted to come over and say hello. While it's very tempting to give them a pat and make friends, it's very important to keep your distance. Keep wild animals wild. A great video and reminder to all hikers, thanks Tim!
