Solo hike in Tasmania, 19 days in the Tarkine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лют 2019
- A 19 days adventure, a mixe between packraft and hike. Probably the best way to explore the Tarkine.
Although not designated as a national park, the area contains a wildly diverse landscape - including Australia's largest patch of temperate rainforest - and a world of natural treasures including mountain ranges, wild river and cave systems, buttongrass moorlands, and a rugged coastline with long sandy beaches, grassy woodland and coastal heath.
Personally, the tarkine deserve to be protected, it's a extraordinary place.

Really enjoyed this. Magnificent country and definitely needs to be protected from logging. It's too unique to lose. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks, there are the Bob Brown Foundation, who fight to protect this incredible place.
@@stephanelair8285 Yes. Thanks I actually looked at their website yesterday afternoon and purchased some merchandise from them as well as subscribing. Cheers
Couldn't agree more Neil , hopefully this magical place will stay protected for all eternity.
It is so beautiful there! I loved the bird sounds! It needs to be protected and left alone. No logging!
Yes, we don't have a lot of place like that.
Beautiful mate , thank you very much.
You should of received some sought of acknowledgment from tourism Tasmania 😄😄 for that . Thank you for promoting such an outstanding part of the world.
Thanks, 😎
Excellent video Stephane and great route planning. That was a huge undertaking. You are clearly very experienced! nice work bro.
Thanks Eddy, I take a lot of time planing a trip, I have a few already planed for the years to come.
For the experiance part, I learn a lot from each adventure, this one was my first real one with a packraft.
Hi Stephane, I have finally been able to do a short variation of your epic journey. I don't have a proper packraft so could not do the Arthur river, which is very low now after a dry summer My starting point was Arthur river village and I mainly followed the coast to the Pieman river where I crossed with a "rapid raft " and then continued via Climies Track to Macquarie heads. The last days Mt Heemskirk and Zeehan were in the clouds. In March I had done Montezuma falls, Mt Murchison and Mt Farrell in fine weather. Again compliments on your route choice and carrying all that weight! Thanks for the inspiration, very few people walk this coast, I really enjoyed the solitude and the campfires, which are banned in all national parks. Vaya con Dios
Hi eddy, congrats on doing this adventure, it's not easy, because it's pretty remote, but like you I enjoy the solitude of the place. I will come back to australia in a few years to do another one, there are so much to enjoy there. See you.
That's one epic trip! Well done.
Great photography Stephane, and good editing too. I'm glad that you got to see some of our amazing native animals too like the echidna, wombats and the birdlife. You have seen parts of Tasmania that I have never visited, and I have lived here for nearly fifty years. Rob, Prue (and Red)
Thanks Rob and Prue.
Yea I was lucky, to see so many animals, but most of the time I couln't filmed them, like the tiger snake, platypus or the tasmanian devil... Also by using a gopro, you have to be very close to the subject, there are no zoom.
By using the river and by being autonom, I was able to fully enjoy the tarkine area.
There are still lot of place a wish to go in tasmania, like the area around the Eldon Peak.
Hi, just taking in Tassie walks and had to leave a comment, especially after seeing the dotted route you gave us. This was an awesome kayaking production! Congratulations on an awesome video. You took us amazing places. Thank you. Trudi. Queensland
Thanks trudi. You are more than welcome, the tarkine is really an incredible place.
Queensland and Australia in general look like a really big playground, for exploring, I don't have an itinary yet, but to go there, it's on my bucket list!
I always enjoy taking my time to prepare my next adventures.
@@stephanelair8285 God bless you, I hope your future journeys are safe and successful.
So many positive comments, I could see the quality looked good and subscribed ... Great to actually see the landscape. I'd be happy to watch without the music, I personally think it would feel more like I'm along for the ride ... I'd like to hear the sounds of water rushing birds chirping ... Just saying. Thank you.
Thanks Oscillate, I understand for the natural sound, but sadly at that time I used a gopro. Since it's a waterproof camera, the sound is very bad, specialy in windy situation.
@@stephanelair8285 ok, got ya! Silly me I didn't even think about that! Thanks for your response!
Awesome dude, looked like an epic trip. And you got to see a wombat!
Thanks man, yes it was. And yeah I was lucky to see a lot of tasmanian native animals. Are you planning a long hike, still in scotland or elsewhere?
I'm living in Somerset in south west England. Finishing my job soon and hopefully get out on a mission in May. Not sure what or where yet, just itching to get on an adventure!
Did you have many issues with leeches and what precautions did you take against the little suckers,cheers ,great video🤠
gee i thought another youtuber packrafting the denison river to gordon to west coast was mad this looks even bigger ? great work mate
Thanks mate.
Awesome trip mate. Looks amazing. Can you please list the rafting equipments and brand you are using? Would like to plan for a similar trip in the future. Many thanks Ken
I use a alpacka packraft, a anfibio buoy boy as a safety jacket (there are risk to used inflatable vest), for the helmet , i use a lighter one, I don't remenber the brand, but it's one for climbing, it's also not recomanded, but it's a personal choise (lighter, more confortable, and can be used on glacier, or technical part of the mountain.)

Best video on youtube
Thanks that's a really nice compliment.
What River were you on? Arthur, Savage or Pieman? Great way to see the heart of Tassie .
The 6 first days are on the Arthur River, it was good because I didn't need to carry my backpack. Using this river it's probably one of the best way to enjoy the tarkine area.
I also did a 5 hours on the Piemen river, from the sea to Corinna.
What kind of pack kayak are you using? Amazing trip and video!
Thanks, I use a packraft from alpacka, really sturdy.
Very nice adventure. Laetitia and I are jealous and super proud of you. Can we keep Amro with you for 2 weeks (early initiation to adventure trekking)?!
Thanks, and ok for Amro, but he will have to carry his own backpack. 😎
@@stephanelair8285 No problem, he has few nappies and toys. When can we send him? :)
@@khalidyounis1077 Next one should be in may, it will be the ultimate Packraft adventure ( best of nice places I like, river and sea, in south of France). If he can swim, and if his toys are not to heavy, I will say: welcome aboard ! 😃
Trop bon :D ! Nicolas Cage qui fait du Kayak en Tasmanie !
Ouais, j’étais un peut stress. 😒
Et y avait des bouts de bois un peu partout.
Nice...can you share your total route. On a map?
Stephane, what PFD are you wearing while rafting in this video?
I use the anfibio buoy boy, for all my adventures, because it's really light, and take no place in the backpack.
But you have to be aware of it's limitation, the obvious one is, since it's a inflatable vest (2 chamber), it can be punctured.

ahah ça secoue le raft !! bon editing, de beaux shots, tu pourrais limite te faire sponso par les marques de matos !
vraiment sauvage, belle aventure :o
@@vincentgros Merci je préfère tes commentaire a ceux de Ludwig. 😎
Non, c'est compliqué et ça demande de beaucoup s'investir auprès de la marque.
Pouce rouge !
Did you see a tiger snake ?
Yes I did, I saw 3 of them clearly, and a few others just the end of the tail or movements made by snakes (not sure there were all tiger snakes).
What surprise me, it's in most of the encounters, the snake were in a shadow of the wood, or rocks , and not taking a sun bath.
@@stephanelair8285 How you manage to not surprise them or walk on them in the forest.
@@karchercheur2564 I had brought gaiters, but I didn't used them, the weather was too hot.
When I could'nt see my feet I used my trekking pole to make noise, but most of the time they leave first.
Just in case, I had purchased 2 travel assurance (antivenom can be expansive + you have to go to Hobart, meaning helicopter fee), I also had a PLB, and a bandage in the case of bad luck 😢.
Get a mater
Not easy to find, and I also enjoy a litle bit of solitude. I feel more focus on what is around me.
