Wilderness Travel: Exploring Off The Grid In Tasmania. Rona Berg explores the remote wilderness of Tasmania with On Board and shares her discoveries with Forbes.
“Hobart is also the jumping off point for a life-changing adventure: a small-boat sea voyage through Tasmania’s southwestern World Heritage wilderness, which has been largely unexplored–until now. That’s because it is almost impossible to access, except by seaplane and boat. There are no roads in. You could hike, but it would take about 10 days to get anywhere worth going.”
“Despite multiple daily excursions that may challenge you, guests of OnBoard Expeditions feel wrapped in a cocoon of safety and comfort because the crew is so highly competent that you won’t have a care in the world. Matt Shephard, the skipper, knows every inlet, lake, cove and patch of scrub like the back of his own hand, and he is also a seasoned guide. Peter Marmion, an avuncular naturalist and conservationist who has been an adventure guide in Tasmania’s back country for 30 years, seems intimately acquainted with virtually every animal, mineral and plant in the region.”
