Notes from a Trail Head: May 2013
http://jez-hiking.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 20, 2013. Mt Woodroffe, #7 of the State 8. That sees a list of the eight highest peaks in Australia's states and territories and then wants to tick them all off? Maybe This one, Mt Woodroffe - South Australia's highest peak - was my number seven, of eight, the so-called State 8, or Aussie 8. Apparently I'm not alone in my affliction, there were 28 other people booked onto this tour. SUMMARY - Mt Woodroffe climb/hike. 1 day hike (3 day trip). Ngarutjara (3 day trip to/from Uluru). With the per...

Monday, June 11, 2012. Mt Dib and Mt Dab. SUMMARY - Aroona Valley to Blinman Pools, return via Wild Dog Creek. Sunday morning was cold, very cold, minus three. In the cold we set off with our daypacks, armed with Kate's 1:33 333 map and landscape familiarity from a recent rogaine, crossing the countryside to Blinman Pools. There was plenty of water in the pools, a stark contrast to what I saw when I was last here in the drought during 2007 - no horizon pool back then. Early on Monday, five dedicated walk...
Notes from a Trail Head: July 2012
http://jez-hiking.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Finishing off the Larapinta Trail. Two years ago I had to pull out of completing the 233km Larapinta Trail though the West MacDonnell Ranges, west of Alice Springs. I returned mid last year to finish off the eastern half, but wildfires closed the trail, so we occupied ourselves with other hikes. Now, for a third - and successful - attempt, I tackled the more challenging section of the Larapinta Trail. Redbank Gorge to Ellery Creek. Sections 12-7), 2010. View photos on Google.
Notes from a Trail Head: July 2011
http://jez-hiking.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 17, 2011. We had unfinished business with Mt Aleck, an attempt to summit it in 2009. Mt Aleck, Elders Range, Flinders Ranges. Back in 2009, it was a hot October day, over 30 degrees. Today it was cool, sunny winter’s day. Ideal hiking weather. Back in 2009, we ran very short on water. This time we took extra water and left it under a tree on the flats, there as a contingency for camping a second night. Back in 2009 we used a Wild article. 1st August: Some hikers have since told me of an easi...
Notes from a Trail Head: January 2012
http://jez-hiking.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Finishing off the Great South West Walk. I may have previously said some evil things about this walk, I take all those things back. Having now completed the 250km trail, it is, upon reflection of its entirety, the Great South West Walk is a fantastic trail. It is spectacular, with good facilities and well maintained. Great South West Walk. Discovery Bay Conservation Park and Coboboonee Forest. We walked the eastern 100km back in Easter. Is the map produced by Cartographics.

The Mawson Trail: Mt Bryan East to Willalo Hall
http://jez-mawson.blogspot.com/2009/03/mt-bryan-east-to-willalo-hall.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Mt Bryan East to Willalo Hall. Continuing north along the trail near Mt Bryan East, we encountered more of that Flinders-esque landscape we had seen last ride. The view from Dares Hill Summit was rewarding, we could see for miles, although I had no real idea of what we were looking at. We left some scrub and re-entered farmland dramatically crossing Goyders Line. Mt Bryan East to Willalo Hall. Had a look-in at the the childhood home of Antartic explorer, Sir Hubert Wilkins.

Magnetic North: Farewell, and Hello
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010/08/farewell-and-hello.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Farewell, and Hello. I'm sitting here watching the sun play over the surface of Uluru. A fitting end to my four month trip around WA and NT. Now I head south, back to Adelaide and home. Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, NT. Thanks for all your comments and emails along the way, I'm glad you've enjoyed reading my blog as much as I have writing it. So we will be doing parmmys at the Arms? Better find some where for you to sleep ; ). Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 6:34:00 PM GMT 9:30.
The Mawson Trail: June 2009
http://jez-mawson.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 1, 2009. A lonely isolated road. A lonely isolated road lead northwards away from the Old Wonoka ruins. Past the long forgotten graves with ornate cast iron fencing and a stone crypt. The road lay beside the former Great Northern Railway, which had once swept out to the north west to reach the plains. However, the road continued into the valley, that was covered in loose, red rocks, almost lunar-like. Melrose to Quorn to Kanyaka to Mt Little Station. Pulling down with it two of the massive g...

Magnetic North: Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010/08/uluru-kata-tjuta-national-park.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. It's an image every Australian has been overexposed to. Uluru. The Rock. I didn't have high expectations, but when I first saw it on the horizon, I was still left breathless. It really is awe insprining. Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, NT. The rock climb. I'd be interested to know, how many Australians who visit the park do the climb. Is it mostly internationals? Uluru or Ayers Rock? Uluru Base Walk map. Download Google Earth KML file. Google ...

The Mawson Trail: April 2009
http://jez-mawson.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. Stone Hut to Melrose. A mere 52km to Melrose. Lunch at the North Star. A quick ride back to Stone Hut along the bitumen. Brrttthp. Stone Hut to Melrose, return along bitumen road. Ah yeah, so had another Leave-Without-Pay-Day courtesy of the recession, so Graham and I decided to make the most of it and ride another day on the Mawson Trail. We would be up this way anyway for the weekend, hiking 63km along the Heysen Trail. Download Google Earth KML file. Melrose to near Stone Hut (...

Magnetic North: An abrupt end at Ellery Creek
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010/08/abrupt-end-at-ellery-creek.html
Sunday, August 15, 2010. An abrupt end at Ellery Creek. Like I said, my hike of the Larapinta Trail ( see earlier blog post. Came to rather an abrupt end midway along it, at Ellery Creek. I'm at pains to describe exactly what happened, but one moment I was excitingly opening my food drop package, and moments later it seemed to game over. Larapinta Trail, West Macdonnell Ranges, Alice Springs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blog Entry Category Labels. Subscribe to this Blog. The north calls me, a fou...

Magnetic North: July 2010
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge). Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge), Northern Territory. Maybe not horribly wrong. I could have done all the walking in two, not three, days, but I wanted to give my ever-injured feet a break, and to enjoy each of the spectacularly placed campsites on the Katherine River. On the second day, I returned along some of the main track, but this time deviating into Jawoyn Valley. The indig rock art was hard to find, I suspect I found ...

Magnetic North: March 2010
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. As a newcomer to 4WDs I thought I might undertake a training course to familiarise myself with my capabilites and my car's capablities. 4WD Training Day near Lyndoch, Adventure 4WD. Introducing Pajero on the "Oh Shit Hill" (this vid of my brother):. You can see why it is called the "Oh Shit Hill" (vid of Pat). The oh shit comes when diagonally opposite wheels have lost traction and gravity pulls the car along:. And back up again (again Daniel):. The training by Adventure 4WD.

The Heysen Trail
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Beyond the Heysen to Mt Hopeless. We've now completed our journey from Cape Jervis to Parachilna via the Heysen Trail, and the traverse of the Flinders Ranges from Crystal Brook to Mt Hopeless. You might think nothing more could lie in store on this Heysen theme, but there might just be an idea growing. No, we are certainly not continuing northwards from Mt Hopeless across those plains and deserts. Read full blog entries:. Graham, Nick, myself (Jeremy) and Simon. It didn't go unn...
Notes from a Trail Head
Thursday, December 29, 2016. Review of the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail (KIWT). It's been 3 years since I last updated this blog. I injured myself in mid 2013 and it took about 2 years to recover. I've been doing plenty of hiking and rogaining since, just not adding it to this blog :(. The Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail. And the 5th day in the Kelly Hill Section (as the Hanson Bay Hike. This review has been republished with permission on the Walking SA website. Contents of this Review. Our review c...
It's a Dog's Life
It's a Dog's Life. The Life and Times of Jezebel - an independently minded little Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Tuesday, 14 June 2011. I made a new friend. Jez makes a new friend. A photo by Julia Livesey. I was a bit disappointed that Mum took this photo of me in black and while - she says she forgot to change the setting on the camera - silly Mum! Sunday, 5 June 2011. A trip to Oxfordshire. And here's a boat on the canal. You can just make me out on the path in the shadows. Eventually we set off for the ...
