Tour Notes

We will only undertake easy hiking, the main aim of the workshop being tuition and shooting time. It is important to note of course that the nature of the workshop involves uneven paths so please take care at all times when out in the field.

** Please take all care and responsibility for your own equipment while outdoors **

South west Tasmania could experience any weather at any time of year. Autumn can bring stunningly clear and still days, as well as wild and wet conditions so keeping a close eye on the Maydena weather forecast in the leadup to the trip will be important. Warm clothing and good waterproofing (including rainpants) will be essential. An umbrella can be a useful piece of equipment too, especially if you enjoy macro photography. A detailed list of suggested items to bring will be forwarded prior to departure.

Driving Time: Hobart to Maydena is approximately 1.5 hours driving time.
