It almost seems cruel writing these short trip descriptions while so many in Australia have limited freedom. But at the same time, I hope it lets some dream of happier times both in the past and future
The last time I walked on the slopes of Mt Wedge was 1996, 25 years ago, so this latest trip was slightly slower. I intended climbing 400 vertical metres or so to the location of some beautiful myrtle forest, and it was just as good as I remembered from previous visits.
These remarkable trees are known to have been in existence 780,000 years ago, and a mature tree can reach an age of 500 years. This certainly puts the existence of humanity into context. :)
The last image shows a mature Myrtle Beech in Tasmania’s North East that certainly would be approaching the 500 year mark.
Just to top it off, a light rain settled in while I was in amongst those ancient trees, the moisture bringing out the colour of everything in the forest, the trees, the moss and the fern leaves. Beautiful.

In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.

The rugged beauty of the Tyndall Range, with its towering conglomerate peaks and dramatic cliffs, offers some of the most thrilling and scenic climbing in Australia.
It just might be the most beautiful climbing venue in Australia.
