We left from Guthega Power Station in wild, snowy weather carting a makeshift sled, piled with firewood, made by Hilly the day before from an old boogie board, a dissected pool noodle and rope.
With an overnight forecast of -10ºC, maybe colder, we wanted to take some wood to use in the fireplace at Horsecamp Hut – like good little hikers we left all the unused wood for future hut users/emergencies.
For a slapped-together first prototype, the “Boogie Mobile” as it was affectionately named, worked incredibly well. Taking it in turns, we managed to comfortably tow it all the way to the hut.
There was only one other guy at the hut who enjoyed the fire with us. We managed to get the inside temp up to 15 degrees while the outside temperature we expect was closer to -10ºC.
We used Moondance 2FN and Dragonfly tents with Kiandra and Telemark sleeping bags to sleep outside the hut.
It dumped snow all night with pretty strong winds, but in the morning we woke to blue skies and barely a breeze.

It became my safe place. My home. Every time I slide into my sleeping bag, that memory comes back. Not just the physical comfort, but the emotional one. The sense of safety, self-reliance, and joy that only comes when you strip life back to the essentials and find they’re more than enough.

The Miena Cider Gum is under significant threat of extinction, clearly shown by the fact that the majority of trees in this particular patch are dead. Climate change is a massive contributor to the threat to this species. These trees have adapted to a cold, wet environment, normally growing on the edge of frost hollows and they cannot tolerate drought stress.

I had 3 days to explore and photograph the crags and gullies around me, quietly wandering alone searching for images that defined the wilderness of Tasmania in Autumn. This is probably the very best time of year to be in the mountains in Tassie.
