Back Country Mt Twynam

Although Spring is in the air, the snow has still been calling out with quite a loud voice lately so that it is not easily forgotten.  To say our final farewell for the season we headed to Mt Twynam (Australias third highest mountain) for a week of fresh tracks in the back country... and boy was it a hoot!!

Snow time!

While we're all shivering at work through the week, complaining of the cold the snow has been falling!  So rather than grumble about the winter, why not get out and enjoy it!  Here's some motivation...

Overland Winter

Its cold, its wet and its the middle of winter what do you do?  While some like to snuggle into sleep-ins, others do a bit of work on the couch wearing in the groove that marks their spot in front of the TV, maybe you're dreaming of warmer days.  But not many people are thinking of seven day treks in Tasmania are they?  But they should!

Don't leave us Autumn!

Heading out for the Wednesday morning ride this morning I was rudely reminded of one thing.  The temperature was sitting at 0.1 degrees, my cheeks were stinging, eyes watering and brain clinging on to the warm sensation that was bed...  Winter is coming...

Bright colours

Picture this... Beautiful sunny days, crisp autumn air, amazing colours splashed over trees and ground, a roaring fireplace, wineries with glasses and bottles at the ready, breweries beckoning and a few great people to share it with...

Storm Chasing

The weekend finale.  Just as we put up our feet for a lazy Sunday afternoon the clouds rolled in.  And they did in spectacular form, so into the car I jumped and went for a little tour to see what I could see see see.  Here's a look.
