Walking the Southern Ranges in south-west Tasmania is always a treat, so when the sun broke through the cloud minutes before setting to reveal this light show, the next 10 minutes was extra special.

This stand of King Billy pines was lucky to be spared from the 2019 wildfires that devastated the area. There was a genuine sense of walking back in time while passing through this forest.

Anyone who has been lucky enough to camp on top of PB knows what a truly remarkable mountain it is. When you get treated to a red sunset like this one it is hard not to fall madly in love with this epic peak.

I had this spot in mind to camp after three hard days walking, so on the third day it was a 12 hour slog to make sure this happened. I was not disappointed. A dead calm evening spent among many old friends in the surrounding peaks.

Getting to the Victorian Alps is a long drive for me, and especially so to take the road to Howitt Plains Car Park.

So after a 4+ day trek, it was good to add in the Bryces Gorge circuit as an early morning walk while in the area.

All was green and lush in mid November. The flowers were just coming on, and Guys Hut was a nice touch to the alpine meadow.

A leap of faithJohn Walker

Heading to Howitt Plains Car Park for the first time, it was in fact a second visit to the Crosscut Saw.

The four day trek involved crossing it twice, going out as far as Mount Speculation and the Razor before retracing the same path back. It is wonderful how a journey over the same path can seem so different due to changing weather.

There were no broader views at all on the way out, but the extensive fog made it a mystical journey of discovery with the wet and vibrant close-in vegetation and knife edge ridge line dropping into nothing.

The return journey was a great contrast with bright sunshine and extensive views all the way.
