Tucked deep inside Hartz Mountains National Park, the walk to Hartz Peak is one of those hikes that feels far bigger than its distance suggests. The trail is short enough for a half-day adventure, but the reward at the summit is pure wilderness magic. On a clear day, the views stretch across southern Tasmania in every direction, making it one of the most memorable alpine walks in the state. The Walk to the Summit The Hartz Peak track begins at the end of the road in the natio

There are places in New Zealand that feel almost unreal — landscapes so dramatic and untouched that they seem pulled from a fantasy film. Earnslaw Burn is one of those places. Tucked deep within the mountains near Glenorchy on the South Island, Earnslaw Burn is a remote glacial valley surrounded by towering rock walls, hanging waterfalls, ancient ice fields, and rugged alpine terrain. Visiting it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my trip to New Zealand, made ev

There are few places around Hobart where quiet wetlands still feel truly wild. Tucked inside the Peter Murrell Reserve in southern Tasmania, Coffee Creek is one of those places. On calm days the water sits almost perfectly still, the reeds barely moving, and the air fills with small flashes of colour and motion — dragonflies patrolling their territory above the water. These photographs were taken during one of those moments when the light was soft and the dragonflies were ac

There's something truly magical about Tasmania in winter, and a recent trip to Lake Dobson in Mount Field National Park left me utterly enchanted. While Mount Field is stunning year-round, experiencing it under a blanket of snow, with a crisp blue sky overhead and a perfectly frozen lake, felt like stepping into a real-life fairytale. The drive up to Lake Dobson itself was an adventure. Winding through towering eucalypts and ancient rainforest, the air grew colder, and the fi

Tasmanian Photography Tours teamed up with Pennicott Wilderness Cruises to provide a Sunrise Cruise to Tasman Island. Departing before dawn, we navigated the waters of the Tasman Peninsula and watched the sunrise over towering sea cliffs and the striking silhouette of Tasman Island. Throughout the trip, we observed the varying moods of the Tasman Sea and admired the tallest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere. This experience went beyond a typical cruise—it was a unique cha

Fossil Cove , located near Blackmans Bay in southern Tasmania, is just a 20-minute drive from Hobart. Tucked away at the end of Fossil Cove Drive off Tinderbox Road, this hidden gem is quietly renowned for its remarkably well-preserved marine fossils embedded in 250-million-year-old Permian sandstone. Fossil Cove offers a quick yet striking escape into Tasmania’s deep geological past—combining fossil-rich cliffs, native bushland, and sweeping coastal views. It's a perfect spo

Nestled in Tasmania’s rugged Central Highlands, the Miena Cider Gum ( Eucalyptus gunnii subsp. divaricata ) is a tree unlike any other. Endemic to just a few small pockets near the town of Miena, this rare eucalypt is not only beautiful—it holds cultural, historical, and ecological significance. A Tree with a Sweet Secret The tree gets its name from the unique, sugary sap it produces. In cooler months, the sap sometimes seeps from cracks in the bark and begins to ferment na

A beautiful Sunset in Hobart. The Hobart wharf area is a lovely spot to photograph in the early morning. Especially in winter. The boats in the dock complimenting Mures restaurant and Kunanyi (Mt Wellington)
