  • I wish the sun could rise and set forever 🙆 Definitely my favorites times of the day. Standing among The Needles in Tasmania gazing over the ranges in the distance. #ForTheLoveOfOutdoors
  • Standing on top of The Needles in Tasmania staring at Lake Pedder and feeling like I'm in a dream 😄🙆🗻. Best short walk I've done in a while. If you find yourself near Mt Field or don't mind going on a 1.5hr road trip from Hobart, you really must visit. Find a link to our field notes temporarily in bio. #ForTheLoveOfOutdoors
  • Fluffy! 😍☁🐑🗻 Don't you just wish you could take a stroll out there?! #ForTheLoveOfOutdoors
  • Stargazing over the Sentinel Range in Tasmania 🌌✨🌑. It was my first attempt ever at photographing the milky way. I think I still have a lot to learn, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out nonetheless. We looked for the perfect spot using Sky Guide App to see where the Milky Way would show up. If you never used it before, you really need to try it. It's great to see where the Milky Way is going to show and when you hover over a constellation, an illustration of it shows up highlighting its major stars. When we were sailing from Brisbane to Hobart last year, I would spend hours on night watch searching the sky for new constellations and read up on its stars. Occasionally this massive Ship Constellation would up and for some reason it always made me feel uneasy...🙊 No massive ships this time but there was the cutest tiny Chameleon Constellation just right of the Milky Way. #ForTheLoveOfOutdoors
  • Over the holidays we hiked the Freycinet Peninsula Circuit. Ow man was it hot! With the UV index ranging from 12 to 15, the sun was unforgiving! On the way to the top of Mt Freycinet, I felt like a melting cube of butter on a stack of pancakes. The view was totally worth it though. The clouds had me worried during the last stretch. I was affraid they might ruing it. But I think they just made the whole experience all the more dreamy. The Freycinet Peninsula Circuit is a 2 to 3 day hike on the East Coast of @tasmania @australia The terrain varies from easy to moderate with a short hard side trip if you decide to summit. I think that dispite the heat it's best hiked in summer so you can fully enjoy jumping in the aqua colored waters at the campsites each day. But it can essily be done year round.

  • Kitchen Hut has to be my favorite hut I've come across. Located on Cradle Plateau, it's the first save haven Overland Trackers can hide away in and catch their breath before dragging their packs to the first overnight hut. It's also a good spot to work up some courage and refuel before summiting Cradle Mountain. I so desperately want to come back one day with enough snow to reach that shovel. Something about that shovel is just very alluring. Doesn't it just look like the perfect place to hide out a winter storm with spiked hot chocolate and an adventure novel? Too bad it's Emergency Use Only... #ForTheLoveOfOutdoors
  • It always surprises me how quiet Mt Field's tracks are at the top considering how incredibly busy it gets at the visitors center down at the base of the mountain. The view here is along the Tarn Shelf circuit, one of the easier (mostly) full day walks in the alpine region. Further down is lots of tarns, as the name suggests, and an itty bitty skiing museum . So cute 😁. I read somewhere that in Victorian days people would climb all the way up here with skates, fancy dress and a gramophone and ice skate on the frozen tarns in winter. Doesn't that sound amazing and horrifying at the time? Imagine hauling all that stuff all the way up the mountain... 😥 #ForTheLoveOfOutdoors
  • Sam chilling out in front of one of the Government Huts in Mt Field National Park Tasmania 🌒 These cheap little cabins are really in a one of kind location inside one of Tassie's most popular national parks and only minutes away from the alpine trails. It's one of our favorite weekend getaways. Temporarily find a link to the full post in our bio. #ForTheLoveOfOutdoors
