This is Tasmanian Photography Tours owner, Ben Wilkinson signature landscape photography workshop tailored to those who want to experience hiking into the Tasmanian wilderness in search of untamed landscapes, ancient forests and a vast array of flora.
Ben and his brother Sam will lead you into the wild places of Tasmania’s West Coast to see amazing examples of what the ancient Gondwana landscapes must have looked like. You will stand on the spot where famous Tasmanian track cutter, T.B Moore first gazed out upon the West Coast and gain a feeling of what the old miners and piners of the region must have endured on this historic and immersive wilderness photography experience.
These tours are not for the faint of heart, it is the West Coast of Tasmania in late Autumn so it will be cold, wet and muddy. You must be prepared to carry your own gear uphill, walk in all weather conditions for 4-6 hours each day over 3 days. You will get dirty and tired, detached from technology and feel very relaxed. Never fear, we will ensure you come prepared with the appropriate clothing, food, safety and photography equipment to keep you comfortable. The chances are you won’t want to go home.
Each day concludes with a dry, warm bed and a hearty meal beside the fire in an old mountain cabin. There’s no electricity, no phone signal and it is fantastic, if you love nature and you’re not afraid of getting a little breathless in the quest for stunning images, these tours will blow your mind.
If you would like to attend one of these tours, please register your details and Ben will contact you.
