Western Arthurs, TAS - How hard can it be?
How hard can it be? Watch this and wonder.
This is a quick assembly from a full traverse in 2018 of many of the moving elements from iPhone "Live Photos", and a few other images or movies. This assembly is not meant to be a guide or diary, however it provides a good indication of challenging sections of the traverse, and is done in correct sequence up from Junction Creek, through to Western Portal and Lake Rosanne.
There are manually prepared subtitles for the occasional voices recorded, and other information.
Hike Background: Three members of the Victorian Mountain Tramping Club, VMTC (Geoff, John and Carol) and one member from the Adelaide Bush Walkers, ABW (Mal), led by Geoff, spent about 11 days doing the full traverse of the Western Arthurs range, in SW Tasmania. Bad weather delayed us at High Moor, so we spent two extra nights there.
Video Background: This video collation was initially an experiment by Mals Boots in extracting the video files from John's iPhone "Live Photos' , and combing them into one file, so mostly credit goes to John for often hanging back or racing ahead to capture members of the group doing something.

A 16 day pack carrying hike on the Arnhem Land Plateau above Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls in the Kakadu National Park, with members of the Victorian Mountain Tramping Club (VMTC). This video is not intended to help plan a trip, rather it is a recap for the participants, most who, on returning home, had shortly to experience yet another lock-down period. But it will give a good idea of the terra...

Переглядів 3,7 тис.3 роки тому
This is a "diary" of a 10 day walk by five members of the Adelaide Bushwalkers club (ABW), of the South West Cape loop in a clockwise direction, starting and ending at the Melaleuca airstrip. This may help with planning the walk. There are no facilities on this hike, water is taken from creeks. This is not an official video by the club, just a personal record by the author. I have now added Cha...

    We may have been the group you referred to at 1:35 who signed out from New Harbour on 9 January 2021. You seemed to have received the bad weather we left behind on 16 January 2021. It was great re-living the experience through your lens ua-cam.com/video/zbGpX5qH6sk/v-deo.htmlsi=mqmwEv4NQKop2dhq

    Thanks Mal. Great video. We’re planning a similar loop in early 2024 so appreciated the footage of the terrain and the various tips, especially about the tides.

    A brilliant track report and very accurate - I share your sentiments regarding the descent from Rabbit Pass - did it in 2018 with rope to lower our packs - the most beautiful pass I have ever traversed, but really don't need to do it again 😅 - my profile pic is actually from the upper Wilkin valley just before the Waterfall Face.

    Thanks for sharing the walk, Mal. Looks good. We're headed that way this year. Slightly different route but do you happen to have a GPX file or a route drawn on a topo? Cheers, Jack

    yep, that's how I remember it. I tell people, up to Lake Oberon it's a hard walk and after Lake Oberon it's a bloody hard walk. Well done!

      Thanks for the feedback Felix. It is a beautiful area indeed. Definitely only do Waterfall Face/ Rabbit Pass in good dry conditions, as the grass is really slippery even with some dew. Cheers.

    Hi Mal, great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. Im off to do the same in early March. I got some great information watching it too. Especially the tides and crossing the range. I noticed you tracked your trip. Maybe I could have a copy of the gpx file if possible to help get through the off track stuff. Thanks anyway for sharing
