Bisdee, Vanishing Falls and Provis epic

Amazing trip report that Tassie's own Rockmonkey has written up about a trip out the South West.

Ripping read. Scary in parts. But certainly packed full of adventure and some amazing pics of what has to be some of the most remote bush in the world.

Good article but also some lessons to be learned about camping and storing gear near water.I nearly lost a kayak overnight once tying it to a tree in a tidal river that I thought wasn’t tidal that far up!

Strewth, what a read.
As if heavy, oversize, burdening packs are not enough, they have a boat or two tucked away too!! :shock:

She has had an amazing commitment to completing the Hobart Walking Club Peak Baggers List. This was definitely an epic adventure, well done to her and the others on the trip.

Truly epic! Well done to all involved! Thanks for bringing it to my attention here as I would have likely missed it otherwise.
