WILD Magazine - Wild Magazine 195

In this issue

Wild #195 is here, full of Australia’s best adventure, conservation and wilderness opinion writing. It's an issue jam-packed with adventures both big and small, including trips of lifetime like Grant Dixon's amazing photo essay documenting a month-long circumski of Canada’s highest peak, Mt Logan; Martin Bissig’s piece on MTB-ing in the enigmatic Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan; Blake Hornblow's account of the first-ever source-to-sea paddle of NZ’s Taiari River; and Ben Artup's two-week traverse of NSW’s Wollemi NP. At the smaller scale, there are adventures like walking in NSW’s Kybeyan Reserves and in the Vic Alps; a thoughtful piece on what it means to head solo into the Tassie’s southwest; a story on two high-school graduates who rode around Australia, aiming on the way to see 700 bird species AND raise 100K for a Timor-Leste school; and our track notes on walking Tasmania's Bay of Fires. Beyond adventure pieces, there’s a well-balanced piece by former Wild editor Ross Taylor on the controversial climbing bans at Arapiles; a profile on lifetime adventurer Chris Bray; and a piece on the danger posed by the proposed wind farm at Robbins Island. And of course, there are our regular columnists, Green Pages, gear reviews and lots, lots more.
