Last night I went for a drive.
The forecast was for cold, clear conditions on Tassie’s Central Plateau. There is a particular location where a forest of dead cider gums gives the landscape an otherworldly feel. Their gnarled and twisted branches reaching into the utter silence of the sparkling, cold sky is a spellbinding combination.
There was also a possibility of a Southern Aurora, or Aurora Australis to give it its correct term, as a bonus.
I knew it was going to a bit cool so I was wearing Mont thermals top and bottom, a Slinx fleece top with an Icicle down jacket and Mont beanie to top it off. My car has an accurate, calibrated outside thermometer fitted and on the way to my destination it registered -7.6°C so I was glad I had dressed properly for the conditions.
When I reached the forest it was “only” -6.7°C but that was fine. With no wind and the correct clothing I was completely warm, so much so that even after 1 and half hours taking photographs I did not need gloves.
It is truly magical to be alone under a cold clear sky like this, with total silence and an awe inspiring vista stretching out in front and overhead. I did my best to capture the magic with my camera.
The panorama is a combination of 46 individual images stitched together.
The magical place we live…

Amongst other non-competitive, condition maintaining runs around the mountains and canyons of Arizona, Utah, Mexico, and Texas, I managed to tick off 271km of rugged competitive trail running events.

Heading for Red River Gorge I was excited for some low-stress sport climbing. Coming off a year of illness and injury I knew I was undercooked. With this in mind, I was looking forward to seeing a new area and spending time with friends.

Mont has proudly been the sole sponsor of Kowen Races since their inception five years ago, supporting this outstanding Canberra initiative that fosters a supportive trail running community. Founded by Pam Muston with support from her daughter Claire, and backed by the Wamboin Fire Brigade, the event continues to grow in size and spirit.

Stunning! Even during the day time that spot (or similar ones I’ve seen) feel otherworldly but this gives it whole extra dimensions.
