A place in Tasmania called Frenchmans Cap. We took 7 days and did a complete circuit including a swim across the Franklin River. Between the D70 and my wife's Olympus C770, we took over 1900 photos. Here's a small few... No filters, no cropping.  Frenchmans Cap, sunrise.  From the top of...  Yes, I know, the horizon's bent. Call me lazy!   Franklin River at the Irennabys.  (it WAS a COLD swim)   If you look closely, you'll see a track over the top of this mountain.  Tis me with 25 kilos on my back (plus tripod) and some very thick mud. A place on the track known as the "Sodden Lodden". Hindsight says if I were to have gone face down here, I wouldn't have had a hope of getting out. Bears not thinking about. Hope you enjoyed!

These are great, tasadam. Most would look very stunning printed at a gallery size. Well done, and thanks for sharing. I feel like I've had a little trip to Tassie now, although without the mud.  Doug C.

Some nice pics there Adam 
Myself and a few mates are doing Cradle Mt in March and
would like to know how you got on with lugging 25kgs around?
How did carrying that tripod (not quite sure of make) go?
Have been tossing up the idea of lugging my D70s, DX 17-55, VR 70-200 & Gitzo G2220 on the trek but @ 6kgs I'm not too keen 
especially as we have allowed 9-10 days total
Cheers

Stunning pics there.
Yes, I know, the horizon's bent. Call me lazy!
This sort of thing happens a lot in Tassie.

Hi Tasadam,
looks like it was a great trip. The sunrise is fantastic, love those colours. The scenery is amazing in your part of the world.
Frenchmans Cap is certainly on my list of walks to do. I just won't show the bog one to my wife  , if I want her to come.
Looking forward for more photos.
Thanks,
radar

It looks like it was a great trip... Your photos have a real "wilderness feel", I've never been to Tasmania but really feel like going! My favourite shots are #2 and #7.

Can't believe this is Tazzie!! You've really captured the wildness of the place. Never been, but am looking forward to doing some hiking there. That mud is incredible!! How long did it take to get through that?!!

No, that mud was IMPOSSIBLE! I was actually seriously stuck in this photo - I had taken a big step off a dry pad (you take big steps so you have to take less steps), and just sunk to the tops of my knees. All my weight in that shot is on my right leg, and I am using all my strength to lift my left leg, with both arms as well. It was a case of turning around from here and finding another way. Took 4 or 5 lifting steps like this to get out. Most times I just trudged through because the more routes people take, the wider the track gets. But in this case as I was stuck, my wife had plenty of time to take a shot.
I have heard of people getting stuck like this to their waist. Can be quite serious and needs someone to help you out in the thickest stuff. Faced with walking through this and swimming across the Franklin, I'll take the swim twice any day 
Have just finished going thru all my photos from this trip, and will soon be uploading to web space so I can post some of the best.
