There are no abbreviations ...

It seems that the world is obsessed with abbreviations. It is wherever we look in 2021 - abbreviations for success, fame, vaccines and everything else. But if we only see the finish line, we quickly forget why we were in the race at all.

After we have led a nomadic lifestyle for so long, we slowly learned to get used to the teats of short -lived success. We have learned to refine our goals while trying to concentrate on the overall picture.

This week this ideology accepted its physical form.

Our goal for Tasmania is to build the most comprehensive resource of outdoor attractions and activities on the island. And what is more important to do this well and in a way that inspires people to adventure. With this goal in mind we strapped our boots and went over 90 kilometers on foot and over 3,600 meters of altitude in five days.

The Freycinet Peninsula Circuit

The Freycinet Peninsula is certainly one of the most picturesque places in Tasmania. Known especially for its impressive granite peaks and untouched white sandy beaches, it was a place that we wanted to explore and document.

The far best way to see the Freycinet Peninsula is a walk on the Freycinet Peninsula circular route. There are a few variations of this route, but we designed our own. We went in a roller loop and joined a summit of Mount Freycinet and Mount Graham.

The route was not necessarily difficult, but pretty long in just two days. Nevertheless, it was a great warming up for some of the most difficult hikes that we planned for the rest of our time in Tasmania.

Below I inserted some of my favorite photos from the hike. If you want to see more, I have just published my hiking guide for Freycinet Peninsula Circuit, which includes about 70 more.

Maria-Island circuit

After we returned to our van quite late on Wednesday afternoon, we said goodbye to Freycinet and drove to Triabunna, where we had booked a ferry to Maria Island the next day.

The weather had been great for us in the past few days, and this trend continued when we explored Maria Island.

Maria Island is known as one of the best game reserves in the world and also a great hiking destination. To find out what this incredible place has to offer, we decided again to explore it on foot on Maria Island Circuit.

Here are some snapshots of our time on the island.
