Field Notes
HikingThe Needles Tasmania is a truly spectacular short walk about 1.5 hours out of Hobart. Within only an hour of uphill struggle, you are rewarded with a 360º which includes Mt Field, Mt Mueller, Mt Anne, the Saw Back Range and Lake Pedder among many other landmarks and features.
If you are in the Mt Field area, make sure to stop by this amazing walk. Or turn it into an off the beaten track day trip from Hobart.
Adventure stories
LifeMoving from one of the most densely populated areas of the world to one the least has been a surreal experience. With almost half of Tasmania’s land allocated as a National Park or some kind of Reserve, you’re never far away from some amazing nature sights. One of the most beautiful spots, we recently discovered, is Lake Pedder.
Field Notes HikingJust little over an hour west of Hobart is a half day walk that will take your breath away. Remote enough to not see any signs of civilization from the summit and still accessible enough to make it a day trip from the city. What’s not to love? If you’re staying in or near Hobart, make sure not to miss Hartz Mountain!
