In 1969, teamed up with Peter Jackson, I did the first ascent of the massive 200 metre dolerite face of Bare Rock in the hills overlooking Fingal. This produced the classic MacDonagh, grade 17. Its two crux sections still baffle some climbers. I was only 18 at the time and had only the faintest idea of what sort of life I was creating for myself. A bunch of more first ascents were put up in the following several years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Forty years on and a renaissance has occurred at Bare Rock. Using expansion bolts as protection on the severely overhanging faces, some of the hardest routes in Tasmania are being established. Some of the climbs are so hard that it sometimes takes dozens of attempts before a first ascent can be chalked up. It is absolutely normal to see climbers flying into space, as some of these photographs show.</div>

Lake St Clair is Australia's deepest lake and a classic example of a glacial lake. At the southern end of the Overland Track, the lake, for strange Tasmanian reasons, does not enjoy the iconic status of Cradle Mt in the north. The lake is serenely beautiful, surrounded as it is by snow-capped mountains. What better reason to visit the lake in winter, stay a couple of nights, travel up the lake by boat and do some stunning day or multi-day walks? Yet few people do. This is a place I intend spending a lot of time, both on the water and in the surrounding mountains. So watch this space for more images and adventures.</div>

Flinders Island is the largest of the Bass Strait islands - approx 80k long and 40k wide. With a population of about 800 people it is a paradise of rugged granite coast and mountains and immaculate sandy beaches. I have walked some sections of the coastline and intend eventually to walk it all, some 200+ kilometres. With an excellent air services from Tasmania and Victoria a trip to the island is the cheapest and most efficient form of time travel invented. In one short 30 minute flight from Tassie the clock is turned back half a century. </div>

From Big Hill towards day's end.<br />
<br />
<br />
Flying across eastern Bass Strait one looks down on dozens of islands scattered across the sea like scraps of torn paper. Some are small, mere rocks protruding above the waves. There are larger dramatic domes, blades and towers and of granite. The two largest land masses are the inhabited islands of Flinders Island and Cape Barren Island. They are both a form of paradise on earth and I trust these images and many more to follow will convince you to visit.<br />
<br />
Yes, my Granite Shore project is expanding to include the islands of Bass Strait which should be regarded as an extension of the granite shore of the east coast of Tasmania.<br />
<br />
I visited Cape Barren Island in June 2012 and stayed for ten days: my Ten Days On The Island. While it was the depths of winter most of the days were incredibly warm - temperatures in the mid to high teens. There were astonishingly crystalline clear sunny days and days of amazing cloud drama.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is the latest book by myself and co-author Gerry Narkowicz. We have written 4 climbing books together. I have soloed a further 2 books on rock climbing in Tasmania as well as a book of adventures around the world entitled Hollow Lands and Hilly Lands. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Memory Of A Journey is not only a rock climbing guide, it is also a chronicle of over 3 decades of exploration, discovery and first ascents on the vertical columnar walls of dolerite that rim this vast plateau in north-east Tasmania.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I look back I am frightened by how much time and energy went into the useless passion of climbing on Ben Lomond. All those summer days on the roof of Tasmania, high up in the domain of the wedge-tailed eagle, struggling towards some sort of transcendence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is for me a very personal book. I was in at the beginning of the great adventure that took up so much of my life. I was involved in more than two thirds of the first ascents. The second half of the book details my memory of that journey in words and photographs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The climbing is special and so is the landscape. No-one leaves the place unaffected by the rare power of the high plateau, especially if the climber ventures away from the easily accessed Northern Escarpment and wanders down the broad wind-washed, sun-washed glacial valleys of the upland, along the shores of the high lakes of Baker and Youl to the bastions of Africa (Heimdall and Asgard crags), the plummet measured columns of Pavement Bluff trapping the sun on the eastern rim, or to the darker labyrinthine towers and faces of Denison Crag and Stacks Bluff in the south.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I do hope you enjoy this selection of images from the book. There will be more to come.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">While Tasmania may look</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">tiny compared to the big island of Australia, be prepared to be surprised by its size and complexity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Just what length is the coastline of Tasmania? I set out to answer that question a few years ago by walking around the whole shoreline of the island. I planned to write a book about the adventure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So far I have walked (and climbed) 1350 kilometres and I am not yet half way around the island. I realized very early on, while negotiating the rugged granite sea cliffs of the Freycinet Peninsula, where the great adventure began, just how inadequate one book would be to do justice to a subject that is, in the fractal sense, infinite.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So here are a few images from the projected first volume, the working title of which is The Granite Shore, encompassing the northern half of the east coast. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That section of coast is composed largely of white and pink granites intruded during the Devonian. Stunning rocky headlands, interspersed with sweeping white sandy beeches, is the guise adopted by this earthly paradise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The granite doesn't end with the main island of Tasmania. Great lumps of the rock are scattered across the 300 kilometres of sun-smashed, wind-tormented Bass Strait that separates Tasmania from the big island to the north. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I will include some of those islands in this book as well.</span></div>

Characterized by vast tidal sand flats and an archipelago of islands, the stunning landscape is dominated by the sky and the sea. Beyond this last tip of Tasmania, where the land reluctantly gives up dominion to the sea in a scattering of islands, there is nothing but trackless ocean to the west, until one bumps into the coast of Patagonia. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love the liberating unpeopled space of this landscape, the sensation of being on another planet when the sun rises over Robbins Passage or sets over Trefoil Island. The utter flatness of the landscape allows the sky to dominate and to come to earth as reflections in the tidal pools.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
