Trip report: Overland Track, Tasmania—part 2, before the walk
16 Jun 2024
Getting to Tasmania is pretty easy, but here’s how we did it, stopping by Melbourne and then to Hobart and Launceston.
May: waiting for reviews; Tasmania and South Island trips
11 Jun 2024
Some work, though mostly waiting and advising and not paper writing. More than half the month on the road, in Tasmania and on the South Island (again, not Cascade Saddle, but we did go on a boat in Doubtful Sound.)
Trip report: Christchurch/Lincoln, Queenstown, and Doubtful Sound
6 Jun 2024
Not the Cascade Saddle, take 2. Canterbury Open (judo), Queenstown hikes (Ben Lomond, Welcome Rock) and bike trips (Gibbston), and Doubtful Sound for 2 nights.
May: photos post

Happy first day of winter (NZ)! I think I’ll continue with split photos posts.
April: Whanganui Journey, three papers submitted, and a trip to Tasmania
20 May 2024
Another new place: Tasmania (recommended!). Between the two trips, I did a bunch of work, which I hope will pay off: three paper submissions. Just life as usual.
April: photos post

Let’s try something different and separate the photos post from the summary post.
Trip report: Overland Track, Tasmania—part 1, Australia vs New Zealand, and overall impressions
11 May 2024
Advertised as “Australia’s premier alpine walk”, we had six days with outstanding weather and scenery in Tasmania. In this part, I compare our Australian hiking experience with the New Zealand Great Walks.
