Fantastic video. One of the things I really love on a hike is summit views where you don't see anything like farming or human settlements, and there were quite a few of those sort of views in this video. It is one of the things that makes hiking in Tassie so great, but I don't reckon as many people realise you can have that experience in SEQ.
Thanks so much. Yeah, I would have to agree. Summit views into remoteness is so much better. We do have awesome areas in SEQ but TAS will always be my favourite place to walk.
Great video Aaron, you really manage to capture the grandeur of this hike and the 3 themes we’ve had on this. Low water, gympie gympie and broken shoes. Can’t recommend enough to people to not skimp on water on this hike it’s not one you want to run out on.
Yeah on the Friday there was nobody else, but as we came back on Saturday there was a group of 16 or so people coming up! Took some epic sunset shots at the Stern, but sunrise was a bit of a fizzer.
Hey mate, awesome video, love the drone shots! I was just wondering how you brought enough water up for a trip so long? Or were there creeks and water holes you filtered water with and drank? Thanks.
Hey mate, cheers! Nah. We both carried about 4-5L each and just had to ration for the two nights. The only water source is the one we crossed on day 3.
@@AaronGrayOutdoors That does sound insane. I’m still just trying to figure these peaks out via the topographic map and in my head. Am I right in saying that in the first frame of your video on the left is where the stern lookout is, the centre but background is Funnel and the point one on the right is Mast?
Hey mate! Looking at just doing the steamers from emu creek road. I don’t have a 4WD but is old mill road walkable to the start of the steamers hike? Does anyone know?
Hey mate, yep it surely is. We only had 1 car available for the circuit so we parked at the corner of Old Mill and Emu Creek road and walked in/out. It adds about 2.5km each way of walking on the road. I hope that helps.

@@AaronGrayOutdoors oh definitely agree, if I were to make a top ten list of hikes I've done, Tassie would absolutely dominate the list!
Absolutely mind blowing scenery my friend, this looks amazing! Bravo 👏👏
Appreciate that, thank you!
Thank you, what awesome beauty
Thanks 😊
Awesome video Aaron 🤩
Reliving so many hiking memories watching this 🥰
Thanks so much Karen. Glad I could help you relive it - it’s a fantastic circuit.
Thanks for sharing mate! So keen to hit this loop up soon.
It’s definitely a fantastic loop. Make sure you carry lots of water.
Good one dude! Awesome drone footage! I bloody love the Steamers so much! Haven't done it as a loop with Lizard Point though!
Cheers man. Yeah, always a great view! Doing it as a circuit was really enjoyable!
Great stuff Aaron, looks like a tough hike by the soot and look on your face.
Thanks! Yeah it was pretty tiring and fairly humid.
Such a stunning location mate, thanks for sharing
Cheers! It is a great spot.

Thanks Jonno! Yep, you’re certainly right… Definitely had all three!! Requires a good heavy load of water, that’s for sure.
haha you seem to be following me! I was there a few weeks ago too. At the Stern lookout. Amazing place, I want to go there every weekend.
Haha, I promise I’m not 🤣. Yeah it’s a great place, although fairly busy nowadays especially on weekends.
Yeah on the Friday there was nobody else, but as we came back on Saturday there was a group of 16 or so people coming up! Took some epic sunset shots at the Stern, but sunrise was a bit of a fizzer.
Great video Aaron.
Thanks Andy! 👍
Fantastic video. Would love to hear a bit more commentary at the big views...e.g. in the East we see mt such and such, etc
Thanks so much! Great suggestion. I’ll keep it in mind for future videos.
Epic footage from an epic trip! Loved some of those drone shots, along with the clip at 10:14 where my tent looks like it's moving by itself ahaha
Haha thanks mate! Certainly was an epic trip. Yeah I think you were setting up your tent at that stage 🤣. Look forward to seeing your rendition of it!
@@AaronGrayOutdoors I need to get a move on with the editing haha, hopefully I'll have something out by the end of the weekend.

Looks unreal - curious as to whether Funnel or the Mast are climbable?
Thanks. I know the mast certainly is as I remember seeing a picture of someone tight roping between the stern and the mast. Insane right.

@@joekruger4973 correct. In order from closest to furthest is: stern, mast, funnel, prow.
Awesome landscape. What time of the year did you do this? (Apologies if i missed it)
Hey Darren, thanks. We did this back in August. It was warm but wasn’t overly hot.

@@AaronGrayOutdoors beautiful! Thanks for the quick reply and for the awesome videos
@@AaronGrayOutdoors oh and any idea of how the Gympie Gympie is around there at the moment?
Thanks! If you are only doing the steamers, then generally none if heading up from Old Mill Road.
