Hiking & Sailing in Southern Tasmania - 8 Episodes

The first four episodes cover the sailing of our 40’ catamaran from Hobart via Bruny Island to the west coast, where we did some fantastic hiking in the Southwest National Park. The second four episodes cover our circumnavigation of the Tasman and Forestier Peninsulas including a visit to Port Arthur, and an exploration of the Hobart waterfront.

The scenery encountered in this challenging eight week journey, shot in January and February 2014, is world class, and much of it is only accessible by boat. And being in Tasmania, there were some legendary storms. Enjoy!

Antarctica - Expedition from New Zealand to the Ross Sea, visiting Mt Erebus and the huts of Shackleton and Scott

10 Episodes

In 2017 I went on an expedition from New Zealand to Antarctica aboard the Spirit of Enderby, a small ship carrying only 50 passengers. Over five incredible weeks we explored New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic Islands and Australia’s Macquarie Island, before steaming south to the Ross Sea in Antarctica. Highlights include Mt Erebus, vast expanses of frozen ocean, stunning wildlife encounters, and of course the huts: Shackleton, Scott and Borchgrevink. This expedition was a special trip extended by one week to allow a visit to the amazing Bay of Whales in the Ross Ice Shelf, from where Amundsen set out to become the first to reach the South Pole.

The videos are a combination of high quality stills and down-to-earth GoPro footage. The stills show the stunning beauty of the place, while the GoPro gives some idea of the actual conditions and wonderful encounters with the wildlife.

Cruise run by Heritage Expeditions, New Zealand.
