CRADLE MOUNTAIN Via The WESTERN EXPLORER | Tasmania's Wild West | Episode 79
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2023
- We're taking a long way around to Cradle Mountain! After finding another fantastic free camp on the west coast of Tasmania and spending a few nights off grid, we set off south for the famous Western Explorer.
Although we wouldn't be able to complete the journey, as we were too long for the vehicle ferry, we were excited to explore Tasmainia's wild west and take the interesting route to Cradle.
The first stop was Arthur River and 'The Edge Of The World' and with perfect weather, we spend a while (perhaps a little too long) hanging out on the beach and chatting with other travellers.
Back in the car, and before too long we were airing down for the gravel! With the extremely fine chalk-like dust swirling behind us we ventured south towards Corinna on what is one of our favourite drives we've ever done!
A quick free camp at the old town of Louina and we were on our way to Cradle Mountain! We settled in at another incredible Tasmanian free camp not too far from Cradle and set off on foot to explore this incredible World Heritage area.

Love the west coast of Tasmania but Cradle Mountain really is my soul place
Loved the west coast. We were nearly blown away at Worlds End. But we were lucky that we had pretty awesome weather our whole trip. We agree that rd has spectacular scenery.
Love Cradle Mountain. We had lovely sunny morning and 20 minutes later we had snow ❄️ 😂. Love it!
Crazy! It's a wild place, which is what makes it so special.
Great episode.
Dirt roads in Tasmania are very good. We didn't air down for any, but we weren't towing.
We dropped in to Lemonthyme Lodge on a day trip and found the best hospitality. We planned to return but haven't had the chance.
Great ep…. Harrison has his father’s talent for presentation, good work ! James, good start 😊
👍😂 Cheers, Guy!
Tassie’s 60 great walks will show you the best of the states natural features.
Never be disappointed about the weather when planning a holiday in Tas. It can make your experiences even more memorable.
We went to Tassie some 18 years back, and we're coming back in July this year. driving with a Caravan over Spirit of Tasmania this time. Loving your trip. We have older kids which changes it a bit, but in general it's brilliant. Thanks! Enjoy your trip!
Have fun!
Shimoda. Great choice of backpack. Worth every cent.
Right?! We love it. Such a handy pack.
As they say in Tassie, "if you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes"!! 🤣
😎🏕🐬🦋 Great Episode
I also loved the ending Hahahah with the kids 🙈😃😃😃 have a wonderful week 😎👍
when we were at cradle mountain in 09 we just sat in the car and watched the snow fall down
Great video guys, not sure if anyone picked up on the “sh*tuation” bit! Bloody brilliant 😂😂
Great episode again. We live here and only done this a few weeks ago heaps of good views.
the Corinna Fairy!
Thanks for a great episode, Tassie was home to me for over 40 years. It truly is a special place. Your children are very lucky to have such and experience travelling. Would have loved to have done it when our kids were growing up. Very precious. Love all the tips are about to start travelling full time in around 13 months time. Learning heaps thank you.

Ha, at around the 13 min when you show the camp site you could possibly squeeze into with a smaller rig, you can see a mustard Landrover parked there. That is Nigel, the newly converted car from RUclipsrs Kenall and Glenn who are also down here in Tassie
😀
Ha, there you go! We haven't head of them but we'll keep our eyes peeled!
Great episode guys and absolutely adored the bloopers this week👍😉🤭
Excellent! You both talk so well. It all flows and is interesting. Love the kids having a go in front of the camera. We’ve been living on the road for 14 months now. We’ll get to Tassie one day so I’m taking note. We’re currently in Carpenter Rocks, heading slowly up the Limestone Coast of SA. We have a beautiful country don’t we? Keep enjoying your travels. Look forward to the next episode.
Thanks Sue!
Another great episode. The best bloopers so far !! Great job Harrison ..
Harrison and James are gorgeous! You two are doing a great job raising them. The weather is very changeable for sure. We got some freezing winds in March so anything from snow to hot sun is a possibility as you say!
Great episode, enjoyed, We did the Cradle mountain walk back in 1978, More open less control, drive right in to car park , Pat the wallabies, No boardwalks, narrow track, plenty of black snakes, as I took the lead, no toilets on walk, Good to see it again, Safe happy travels Cheers Bevan Sapphire Central Queensland 🤠❤️🦘🦘🇦🇺
What’s the odds, pretty sure that landrover in the campgrounds my have been another RUclips channel Kendall and Glenn, great video, loving Tassie,
Haha, there you go!
Well guys, you've done it again, another great episode sharing your life.
Nice work Harrison. Oh and how funny was James😆
See you next Sunday
We came here for a holiday 18 years ago , from western Sydney and moved here six months later. West Tamar. love the forests more than anything. You gotta do Cradle again when its snowing, just so totally different. Here's a little tip regarding free camping. National Parks charge and have many restrictions , fire , pets etc. But in a forestry tas area , working forest you can camp anywhere and as long as you are not in the way of a logging opperation no one will say anything. The only real issue is finding clearings big enough. Weather conditions are something else to consider. Wet ground and strong winds bring healthy trees down regularly. In summer also consider fire risk, and what exits you have. If you do venture into working forests, take notice of when it was logged and how fast it grew back. Also the amazing amount of wildlife in these re growth areas. Before coming here I believed all the TV hype, but I now know just how far it is from the truth. And yes there definately needs to be an amount of untouched wilderness, but a sensible amount of logging can go on forever on this amazing island and be 100% sustainable.
Thanks for the amazing share!
I stayed one night up cradle mountain and had a nice cabin called Highlanders nice place to stay and on your way back call into a place called Deloraine they have a 50's diner there nice food ect
Tasmania never fails to deliver amazing scenery that's ever changing! Spent 9 months doing a house renovation for a mate in Southport. (As far south as you can go ) worth a look down that way through the Huon Valley. Great episode once again.
I found a spot I think it was over on the west coast white granit roads so isolated and bloody freezing it was like being on a different planet..
Living the Dream whilst we still able too because of our fast disappearing Freedoms...very intelligent young couple...safe travels with no Rangers .n idiots
Look out once the kids start on utube they will want there own Chanel. 😀😀
Sad to see more and more bitumen creaping across the country.
Oh the English language. Fairy and ferry are homophones...so you're both right... You're welcome! 😂
Not helping 😆
Love your videos, thank you for sharing your lives with us. Question about your equipment, ie. GoPro and Drone. We are about to buy them for our upcoming life on the road. Our research so far tells us the GoPro 11 Hero Black, and the DJI mini 3, I noticed you were using this Drone. Keen to hear your views. Thanks so much. Beth
Thanks Beth. We use a DJI Mavic Air 2, there's links to all our camera gear in the description of all our videos on RUclips
Yet another great one, at least one of those walks is on my August trip. Lovely little waterfall, after admiring it my first thought was leeches lol.... has Harrison had a growth spurt, he looks taller? Cheers Cheryl 🙂
They both keep growing quickly, and eating!
What a great episode!! My brother and I did the big three walks (The Overland track, Frenchmans Cap and Federation Peak) 25 years ago and dad did them in the late 50s. It is such an amazing place and the weather just adds to the experience :D Thank you for sharing your travels guys, the fam is booked in for the start of December. Would you prebook any camp sites?
We haven't found the need to book but, over school holidays might be different
thanks guys another great video lived in Tasi for 2 years picking up new van next week and will follow your trip how did you find the narrow roads with passing other vehicles
Thanks, John. The road was pretty quiet and we were taking our time so not too bad.
My older brother, married a Green, parents had a dairy farm on the way to Green Point, Don't know if any connection to name ,🤠
Curious to know (as I'm about to get my (first) new ute & van... When airing down the tyres for a gravel or dirt road, do you air down the caravan tyres too, or just the vehicle?
Thanks Carla. Always air down your trailer/caravan as well. It dramatically improves the ride and reduces the chance of a puncture on most circumstances.
Tassie weather is the weirdest🤪🤪it snows in summer and 4 seasons in an hour as you experienced 🤷🏼♂️glad there was no environmental disaster💩
Heading down there Dec 23/Jan 24 . Love your videos , great help with our own planning .
Awesome! Thank you!
