It almost seems cruel writing these short trip descriptions while so many in Australia have limited freedom. But at the same time, I hope it lets some dream of happier times both in the past and future
The last time I walked on the slopes of Mt Wedge was 1996, 25 years ago, so this latest trip was slightly slower. I intended climbing 400 vertical metres or so to the location of some beautiful myrtle forest, and it was just as good as I remembered from previous visits.
These remarkable trees are known to have been in existence 780,000 years ago, and a mature tree can reach an age of 500 years. This certainly puts the existence of humanity into context. :)
The last image shows a mature Myrtle Beech in Tasmania’s North East that certainly would be approaching the 500 year mark.
Just to top it off, a light rain settled in while I was in amongst those ancient trees, the moisture bringing out the colour of everything in the forest, the trees, the moss and the fern leaves. Beautiful.

Backcountry skiing, along with being an exhilarating sport, is a way to appreciate untouched, snowy landscapes that may usually remain out of reach for outdoor explorers. Backcountry skiing isn't for the fainthearted – it requires elements of both mountaineering and skiing – but the scenes can be well worth it. If you are ready to adventure beyond the well-travelled slopes and take your adventuring to the next level, Mont Adventure Equipment is here with a guide to help you get started with the right equipment.

After the western light had faded I got my camera out and planned on doing a little astro photography. Pleasantly, my first image showed a cheery red and green glow to the south. The Southern Lights were active!
