Federation Peak undoubtedly marks the pinnacle of my hiking and climbing experiences! Forming part of a gruelling 4-day trek, we braved this exceptionally exposed peak in Tasmania’s Southwest. The journey just to reach its base was lengthy and challenging, yet it paled in comparison to the vertical ascent to the summit. With a sheer 600m drop to Lake Geeves below, to say I was scared would be an understatement. This climb took every bit of courage I had, and to be honest, I still can’t believe I did it! Reaching the 1,224m summit is widely regarded as one of, if not the most significant hiking accomplishments in all of Australia!
Please note: Ascending Federation Peak requires prior climbing experience and is strongly advised to be attempted only in favourable weather conditions.

Eastern Whipbird Rainforest Calling Frenzy //
Had the pleasure of finding myself in the midst of about six proudly, territorially displaying whipbirds. Never seen them so bold before, amazing how little self awareness males have around a female. Pause for reflection really.

Monday blues!! 💧💙 But really… where else can you see a brilliant blue inland lake other than in Western Australia? Here are some tips for visiting this epic spot just south of Perth. ⬇
The beautiful Lake Brockman (also known as Logue Brook Dam) is a perfect day trip location, or an even better camping getaway - why not check it out for the upcoming long weekend? Located in the Darling Scarp around 10 minutes from Harvey in the southwest, this remarkable spot is just over one and a half hours from Perth.
The Dam was built in 1963 to supply water for irrigation, but today it’s a popular haven for camping, water skiing, swimming, fishing, canoeing, paddleboarding, sailing, bushwalking, and mountain biking. Surrounded by the dense jarrah trees of the Hoffman State Forest and edged with red gravel, the bright aqua-blue water seems to pulsate in the sunlight.
Here’s what you need to know for planning a visit:
💧 Entry to Hoffman State Forest is free.
⛺️ @lakebrockman_ Tourist Park has powered and non-powered sites, cabins and even glamping tents available. Camp fees apply. Book early as it is very popular during holiday periods.
🐶 Dogs are welcome but must stay on a lead at all times.
☕️ Grab lunch, Devonshire tea or a coffee from the Cafe overlooking the forest and dam.
🛶 Access for swimming, fishing and launching canoes and kayaks is available along the shoreline.
🥩 Gas barbeques, picnic tables and long drop toilet on site.
🚗 You can drive all the way around the dam, mostly on a graded unsealed road (suitable for all vehicles)
🎣 Logue Brook is a trophy dam for trout. Rainbow and Brown trout can be caught all year round with a freshwater fishing license.
Lake Brockman is such a great place to explore with plenty to see and do. Why not plan a road trip soon, pitch a tent and relax in the great outdoors for the weekend? Plus the sunsets over the dam are pretty unique!

Our 7-day traverse of Tassie’s iconic Overland Track kicked off on 18 September ❄️🥾💙
We trekked 16 kms (5.5 hrs) through a snow-blanketed Cradle Valley to the impressive Waterfall Valley Hut.
Strong gusts and icy drifts made a Cradle Mountain summit too risky. Instead, we soaked up sweeping views from Marion’s Lookout 🌨🏔🤩
Barn Bluff stood tall and snow-capped in the distance — an unforgettable backdrop, while Kitchen Hut offered a welcome refuge for a break.
Knee-deep drifts and slushy ice tested our legs, but by 2.30pm we reached the hut, cranked the stove and savoured our first hot brew on trail ☕️✨
Our hearts are with the family of the woman who lost her life at this very location in recent days ❤️❤️❤️

Tramping: hiking but better
Tramping, known elsewhere as backpacking, rambling, hill walking or bushwalking, is a popular activity in New Zealand. Tramping is defined as a recreational activity involving walking over rough country. Trampers often carry a backpack and wet-weather gear, and may also carry equipment for cooking and sleeping.

Although not a very well-known track, the Porters Pass and Colliers Causeway loop is one of the best in Blue Mountains. Great lookouts, several waterfalls and a spectacular secret canyon.
……
The walk is moderately challenging through narrow trails, rocky paths and obstacles with couple of stairs - that’s a true amazement that’s in store for you.
….
The Canyon waterfall at the end of the walk is well worth the effort.
….
Who are you talking along this trek?.
