Hi all,
It's been awhile...probably because I've been doing this silly assignment during every waking moment the past few weeks
but it is finally DONE and Thursday should tell me for sure whether I know what I've been rambling on about or not
So I am focusing on far more exciting things, which is our 3 week trip to Tasmania in March
I have been doing a lot of research and plotting all the locations we want to visit on a huge map and completely forgot about having seen some absolutely breathtaking shots of a place called "Pandani's Shelf". I stumbled across it the other night again and immediately began researching to see if it was possible to visit and get some photography of such an amazing and untouched place.
The more I researched, the more my hopes plummeted
Every recollection by every person who had walked the North East Ridge and got to Pandani described the journey as pretty perilous. Only signed by bright coloured flags and cairns (which I have no idea what they are!), not to mention phrases like "battling through head high scrub", "take a right at the sinkhole" and "I made sure I kept a strong footing while ascending the steep hill as I still have a lump on my leg from 10yrs ago when I fell 10m and hit my leg on a fallen tree" had me pretty concerned about even attempting this.
But does it look amazing! Even the opposite side of Mount Anne, the "Eliza Plateau" side would be awesome.
Just wondering if anyone has done the walk or can provide any helpful information? Is there anyway to get there under safer conditions or are there tours or some sort? We wouldn't want to camp over night but wouldn't mind a full day hike if it meant seeing such amazing wonders!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Or if you have any other suggestions for me to add to my ridiculously length list of locations, I'd be glad to hear it.
Thanks guys!
