Somewhere Along the South Cape Bay Track

The South Cape Bay track is a day walk in Tasmania’s Southwest National Park, within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It’s a two-hour drive south from Hobart to Cockle Creek, which is the end of the road. From here you can walk for a week or more along the South Coast Track to Melaleuca Inlet on the west coast, an even more remote place of astounding natural values and beauty. Walking to South Cape Bay is the first day of that epic bushwalk.

I recently had the privilege of enjoying this wonderland and want to share some reflections with you.

Kuno: telling stories around the digital campfire

Kuno is a new site filled with stories and content about our connections with nature, and our love of nature, reminding us that we are nature. As a contributor I was asked to speak at the launch, but unfortunately I wasn’t in town that day. So they played a video of my talk, and now it’s available on the site. Take a look, and be careful, you just might disappear down the Kuno rabbit hole, a beautiful place to wander.

PS You’ll also find out a bit about the two romance novels I wrote in the 1990s…

Kowai Bush and the Mears Track

Visiting patches of remnant lowland beech forest near Christchurch was also a trip into my family's past, present and future.

I've written the story on Kuno, an app/website which is all about the wonders of nature in the best place in the universe - planet Earth.

Cycling Sea to Summit around Christchurch

This article is on a new app/website called Kuno. Kuno is all about connecting people with “the best thing that’s ever happened in the universe - planet Earth.” It’s crammed with outdoor adventure guides, nature writing, nature science, photography and inspiration.

As a contributor I’m free to produce content about anything relevant to the mission of realigning our relationship with nature to one of belonging.

I wrote this one after a recent trip to Aotearoa New Zealand, my birthplace.
