WESTERN ARTHURS TRAVERSE

The Western Arthurs: A neat little spot for a nudest camp if the weather wasn’t so dicey. Without doubt, one of the best backcountry tracks in Tasmania… Felt privileged to have it to myself.

The Western Arthurs for better or for worse has become increasingly famous over the past years. When one thinks of the Southwest, there is nothing more iconic than the ridge looking down over Lake Oberon as the sun sets. After a tough week of losing a cherished family member, isolation and some challenging terrain to escape the world was all that I craved. In climbing this range I found the beating heart of Tasmania. If you need some healing, this is a good place to start.
