Heading to North Tasmania | On my way to Cradle Mountain!
There are few words to describe my latest adventure. The past week, I hiked the South Coast Track through the wild southwest of Tasmania, and it left me absolutely speechless. It was raw, unpredictable, and stunning in every way. In short — overwhelming and amazing.
I’m already working on the travel video from this hike, and if it turns out anything like I picture it in my head, it could easily be my best yet. This trail had so many moments worth capturing — rivers to cross, mountain passes, and days where the sun finally broke through the mist like a reward.
Alongside video editing, I’ll soon write more travel guides based on the hike, including the 10 Reasons to Hike the South Coast Track. It’s an experience that deserves both a visual story and a practical guide — because if you love nature and adventure, this remote walk should definitely be on your list.
That trek also marked the end of my journey through southern Tasmania. I’m now back in Hobart for some well‑needed rest, gear cleaning, and a few flat‑white breaks before setting out again. Next up: North Tasmania!
Exploring North Tasmania
Even though my time in Tasmania continues, things are shifting a little. The north has fewer public transport options than the south, so planning takes some extra effort (and probably some creative hitch‑hiking).
My first stop will be Launceston, where I’ll spend a few days exploring and figuring out how to reach Cradle Mountain. I’m not planning to hike the entire overland track, but I do hope to walk a few sections of it and experience the magic. I also have a few spots in and around Launceston that I still want to discover and share through photos and blogs.
Winter is on its way here, and I’ve had to cut some plans shorts. Camping and hitch-hiking to remote places isn’t ideal when the weather turns wild. Tasmania’s storms don’t exactly go easy on travellers. I was lucky to have a stretch of after-summer sun on the South Coast Track, but not long after, the antartic winds started rolling in Southern Australia.
Still, nothing is lost. Every shift in plan is just a new direction for adventure. After finishing up the north, I’m thinking of flying back to Melbourne to see friends and start the next chapter in mijn travels. The actual one that I’d intended to begin before Tasmania (and Covid-19) changed the course entirely.
Looking Ahead
For now, I’m taking a moment to enjoy how far this journey has come. From Freycinet and Maria Island to the South Coast wilderness. Tasmania has challenged me, refreshed me, and left me with a camera full of stories I can’t wait to share.
Next stop: North Tasmania — and beyond.
