just returned from trip to tasmania. visited a variety of interesting locations, spent far too much time cramped in backpack, but don’t appear to have suffered any ill effects. photos include my attempt on federation peak (unsuccessful due to adverse weather conditions), as well as visits to mount wellington, mount field (notably the remarkable ‘russell falls’), freycinet national park, and the tahune forest air walk.

The initial reason for my journey to Tasmania – an assault on Federation Peak. We were trekking in along a horrible muddy quagmire of a path, and this was the first view of the peak we obtained. The ascent was to be unsuccessful however, as we were turned back by ill weather.

Bagging Mt Difficult, in the Grampians.

Snow moose at the summit of Mt. Saint Gwinear.

Slab climbing at Black Hill. I really don’t think I have the right body shape for this sort of thing.

Climbing at Thompson’s Point, Nowra. Actually, I wasn’t so much climbing as sitting around on boulders in the sun. But I hear that’s a pretty normal day of climbing anyway.
