What a privilege to meet Raptor Man Craig Webb for this story in #yourjourneys RACT magazine. The effort Craig, Juliet Harlow, staff and volunteers go to in order to save and rehabilitate Tasmania’s birds of prey is astounding. I love Craig’s tenacity, building his first aviary from an old fish farming net. Book a private tour to meet some of the birds and you’ll be helping fund their work. #raptorrefuge #raptorrefugetasmania @raptor_refuge

How’s this for a natural #arch? Sculpted by nature. This is Mars Bluff, on the Cape Queen Elizabeth Walk on Bruny Island. The walk out to the cape is about 12km return, but Mars Bluff is near the start, so makes a nice short walk. To see the arch you’ll need to go at low tide to walk around the rocks, otherwise, it’s up over the top of the bluff. The beaches here are stunning - part of enormous Adventure Bay, which includes The Neck, the narrowest part of the island that pinches Bruny in two. #tasmania #yourjourneys #theroadahead #brunyisland

Tasmania’s Bruny Island offers adventures aplenty, from bird watching to surfing, hiking to boat cruises, fresh produce to fine tipples. Just don’t rush. Make a week of it. My story in the Aug/Sept issue of @racqofficial #theroadahead #brunyisland #travelaustralia

As we walked around Melaleuca Lagoon in Bathurst Harbour, Port Davey, in Tasmania’s Southwest National Park, the clouds came over and washed this tranquil scene with dramatic monochrome light. Thanks to @tasmanian_boat_charters and @andrewbrucewilson for helping us capture images like these. Southwest National Park is one big dramatic landscape, and you can see so much on a private boat charter. @nzhtravel @tasmania #portdavey #expeditioncruising #waterview
