About Us

awildland.blogspot.com.au is a collaborative blog space for Caz and Chrissy. Its aim is to showcase the wild side of Australia. Caz is the photographer and Chrissy writes the stories. Together, we hope this blog will foster an awareness of the remarkable value of our natural world as well as inspire people to consider exploring their own wild land.  

Originally based on the north coast of NSW, a lot of the stories on this page focus on the beautiful landscape found there. However, in December 2014 we set off to explore wild places across the country and have been based in various states and locations. For the last 5 years we have been based in Tasmania with winter stints of work in Alice Springs, NT. 

Our main focus is wilderness walking but you will find us pack rafting, white water rafting, mountain bike touring, canyoning and camping - anything that gets us out there! Many of our stories have appeared in magazines including Wild, Outdoor, 40 Degrees South, Australian Geographic, Great Walks, and Bushwalk Australia emag and Caz's photos grace information boards and brochures for tourism bodies, NPWS and other government departments. 

WARNING: Our blog page gives a taste of our experiences in each location. The stories are not presented as track notes and rarely contain detailed directions. Our aim, rather, is to encourage exploration. By highlighting the beauty, the features, the challenges and rewards of a destination we hope people are inspired to find their own way, set off on their own adventure and reap the rewards that come with walking out into the unknown. Many of the walks are, however, challenging and remote.

You can also follow us on Facebook and (most recently) Instagram although we are not social media slaves. There is too much exploring to do.
