- A short film capturing my solo traverse across The Western Arthurs, South West Tasmania. The serenity and rugged terrain of this hike is arguably up there with the best I've experienced. Was blessed with spectacular weather (a rarity in this region) for all but the last night/day with gusts north of 100km/h.
Footage captured with my Gopro Hero 7 & 9 though unfortunately, I lost half of the raw files due to an SD card error. So from what I could salvage, enjoy.

Magnificent walk.

very experiential
Cheers mate. The WAT is certainly up there with some of the best treks in the world!
Liam~ Good night.how insanee video-work.all the best- 😇
just stumbled across your vid mate and absolutely loved it. Just finished the Carnarvon gorge 7day and the next challenge is western traverse solo
Cheers mate, much better to experience in person! The Carnarvon Gorge looks interesting, might need add this to the list too.
Absolutely incredible!! Your bravery and also the beautiful scenery and trek. (I work with your Aunt -she's one proud Aunt!) 👏
Thank you!
Loved the video, awesome scenery, great shots, well done
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing you wonderful video. Beautiful images..my husband and I will di half this hike toward end of February. Would love to do whole hike but am nursing a fractured wrist. Great for me to see the terain and figure out what hopefully is manageable.
Thank you. I’m guessing you’re going to Oberon and back? There are a couple section that require a bit of scrambling/ down climbing between lake Cygnus and Oberon particularly after Mt Hayes and down to Oberon itself. Manageable, though the weather can make these sections more challenging. Enjoy
Welcome to van diemens land 👍🍺
Amazing vid Liam! Great camera work. Always wanted to do this trek and this makes me want to do it even more. This might be me being picky but I thought you might have overly saturated some of the footage, and lost some of the natural colour (and beauty) of the range in the process. But this in no way takes away from your great work. Keep the vids coming :)
Thank you. A bit of constructive criticism never hurts to improve. I did struggle with restoring a few distorted clips from the recovery process. In the end was just glad I had something to show.
Stay tuned for more.
