Walls of Jerusalem to the Overland Track and Cradle Mountain (via the Never Never)

Get away from the crowds in the Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park?

Enjoy a great 7 to 8 day hiking trip in some spectacular Tasmanian Wilderness with some luxury accommodation at the end?

We leave tomorrow to walk from the Walls of Jerusalem to Lake Adelaide, Junction Hut, across the Never Never and then onto the Overland Track. We join the Overland Track at Hartnett Falls and then head north to Pelion Hut, Windemere and Scott Kilvett Hut.

This walk is a great way to enjoy some time away from the sometimes busy Overland Track, get into some “off track” bushwalking and combine the beautiful Walls of Jerusalem area with , what we believe, is the best …

Which one person hiking tent? A suggestion

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Which one person tent should “Our Hiking Bloggers” spend their hard earned cash on?

We are in the market for a single person, lightweight hiking tent. The reason will become apparent in the next few weeks. We posted a question on the Bushwalk Tasmania forum asking Which one person tent should we buy? .

Tiger snake meets a frog, Part 2

We posted a video of a tiger snake taken by Paul, whom we met on our last trip into trip into the Walls of Jerusalem in Tasmania. His mate Grant has been corresponding with us, and mentioned he had a closer shot of the snake, with either it’s tongue or the frog’s leg protruding from it’s mouth. We could not resist posting Grant’s picture.

We have not edited it too much, or cropped it to get closer to the mouth. It became too grainy.

Click on the photo to enlarge it, you can easily see the leg!
