There is a four-wheel-drive track going north off the Pieman Road about 1km east of the Pieman Rd bridge over the Wilson River. You can see the track on maps.thelist.tas.gov.au/ The track continues after it crosses the river. About 2km along after the river crossing it is taped where you make your way down to the river. From this point it is untracked.

@ChasingCheetahs Thankyou kindly for replying to me and giving me directions. Safe Journeys. Jules

@@greyTigerGames was a little bit with the ice. We really should have had some micro spikes.

@Wello26 At 5:44 in the video you can see where I crossed a tree line going from the plains up the mountain. There was a creek here where I filled up with water on the way back down. I didn’t see any water at the top, but I’ve read elsewhere about a couple of tarns up there. There are also a few spots where it is flat and clear enough that you’d be able to pitch a tent. I think people continuing on to Stepped Hills usually camp in the valley on the other side where there is a creek between the two mountains.

@@RodLittle I use a GoPro for most of the video, but my still camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II with an Olympus 12-40mm f 2.8 PRO lens.

@@matgordon-smith1949 It is a Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 4400. I have been using it since. The trip I struggled on was one where I had to carry water for the whole trip (about 7 liters). With most of that weight at the back, the pack was pulling backwards. But in usual use, I’ve been very happy with the pack.

@ thanks mate. Yep, I went with the Durston Kakwa 55 and had similar issues, but think I just need to get it dialled in👍

@@ianbell5611 It is a Kokatat Hydrus dry suit. From memory the sizing was pretty spot on - I ordered it online. The only issue was the size I needed only had small socks, with no option for large. So I had to send it away to Victoria to get the socks replaced with larger ones after I bought it. The Hydrus material is significantly cheaper than the Gortex version, and I’ve been very happy with it.

@@Jai_Purdon Thanks. It is an Ortlieb X-Plorer 59L.

Yep, that’s definitely a thing!

Off my wrist. Was just the key for the bike lock, which is on a wrist strap.

@@ChasingCheetahs was that a dry suit?

Yep 🙂

@@ChasingCheetahs very wise. The water would be freezing, not that you were likely to fall out.

No, the climb up to the range doesn't have any exposed parts or any scrambling. The initial section can get a bit tight in the tea tree, with a bit of scrub to push through, but otherwise it is just a steepish climb over low grass.

@@ChasingCheetahs thanks for the info, looks like a great walk to try

Hi - I was there in mid-September.

Thanks so much. I'll be there in mid-July. Hopefully, it's not too early & we'll see a few bears!

Same as the Denison trip. Mostly a GoPro Hero 9.

Mostly a GoPro Hero 9, but there is a bit of iPhone video in there, and a little bit from a Hero 4 as well.

I think I know the one you mean. From memory I went down the far right, but how a rapid works on any given day is always subject to water levels. I hope you had fun regardless 😀

A couple of people have said that, but I’m pretty sure we walked along them on the way to the Tyndall summit? Have got some photos from there, but didn’t record any video.

@@ChasingCheetahs nah it's definitely not those cliffs (as speccy as they are). You know you're at the right cliffs when you're looking at a 300m sheer drop into a stunning glacial lake.

It's hidden from all the viewpoints between Mt Tyndall and Geike unless you go looking for it. Absolutely worth the return trip to see it, one of the best views in the state.

@@NickLM2008 Thanks for the tip. Need to go back sometime to do Mt Sedgewick, so will have to check it out then 👍🏻

Not so far, but we don't spend a lot of time looking under the water. But they are definitely out there from other videos I've seen of people gold prospecting.

@@ChasingCheetahs yes good point. Such a unique Tassie creature. Cheers for the reply, really enjoying your videos as I’ve just started exploring the Tarkine.

Yes, this was in the last couple of weeks. We set out from Huon Campground on the 26th of Feb. A more detailed write-up of the trip can be found at www.chasingcheetahs.net/home/2023/3/12/miscalculating-the-crossing The weather front that came through at the end hit us on the last part of the walk to Melaleuca on Monday the 6th of March. There were a couple of groups who arrived at Melaleuca the day before to do the South Coast Track who ended up being turned back by the weather, as Louisa Creek and Louisa River had both risen to levels where they couldn’t safely be crossed. So not only would it have been shitty if we continued on, but we probably wouldn’t have gotten through. The gauge on the Davey had dropped to 1,563 Ml/day at midday on the day we set back out on the river after our lay day. The flow on the Crossing was probably less than this indicates, as the gauge is so far downstream. But I did see during the week we were at Melaleuca it rocketed up to a whopping 23,000 Ml/day during that storm!

I know! Would have been so much better with you there 🙂

No, so far have been running back with the car after to pick it up.
