This year’s Turning of the Fagus in Tasmania was a little early this year. All it takes is a few cold nights and some wind and the leaves will fall before the nominal time to turn which is Anzac Day.
This year I decided to walk up onto a range on Tassie’s West Coast. I had been here a few times before but not during Fagus time.
As I neared the top of the climb I ran into a photographer that I knew and he gave me the unwelcome news that most of the leaves had fallen.
Ever hopeful I pitched my Moondance I FN in a sheltered spot and hoped I would find some worthwhile scenes the next day.
The night was a mild one with a short sharp drop to just under zero before rising to 7°C by the time I woke up at 5am. I’m still using the incredible Zero Superlight sleeping bag although as winter approaches it won’t be long before a warmer bag will be required.
I left the tent when there was just enough light to see where I was walking and headed up onto a ridge that I knew gave excellent views.
I found the odd worthwhile Fagus bush and viewed superb views of the misty landscape below so the trip certainly wasn’t a loss.
And it’s always good to get out.

In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.

The rugged beauty of the Tyndall Range, with its towering conglomerate peaks and dramatic cliffs, offers some of the most thrilling and scenic climbing in Australia.
It just might be the most beautiful climbing venue in Australia.
