A Look Inside the world
My name’s Matthew but my friends call me Mowser. I’ve lived in Tasmania, Australia my entire life. I love this magical place. I also love hiking and travel.
I created this site to share my love of, not only Tasmania and the hiking it has to offer, but also of the various adventures I’ve been on around the world with my wife and four kids. I’m also going to try to tell you a bit about the gear required to complete my adventures. If you can’t get to these places yourself then I hope this site provides you with some inspiration for what the world, and especially Tasmania has to offer – It really is an incredible place! Enjoy!

The Southern Ranges 2020
I have spent a heck of a lot of time in Southern and South West Tassie but for some reason I had never walked the Southern Ranges between Precipitous Bluff (PB) and Lune River. Sure, I’d been up PB from New River Lagoon in a day trip back on the South West Epic but I’d never actually done the whole Southern Ranges walk. It had been an itch I had been trying to scratch for a long time.

Wentworth Hills
