There’s a weather warning current for a polar blast. It’s set to bring freezing temperatures, rain and snow from Antarctica to south-east Australia – and could even cause flurries in sunny Queensland. What on earth is it going to be like in already wintery Tasmania?
I’m filling in on this story at the last minute, due to a Covid lockdown interstate, so I’ve had no time to do preparatory work. I’ve never done a multiple-day walk before. I’ve never carried a loaded 10-kilo pack, either. My bedroom is littered with gear borrowed from kind friends, some of which I have little idea how to use.
Why did I say yes? Well, there’s a massive carrot enticing me to fly south – provided I can hold my nerve and stay the course. I’ll be travelling the Three Capes Track guided by the award-winning Tasmanian Walking Company (TWC). And I’ll be doing the trek in sustainable, off-grid luxury, staying overnight at the beautifully appointed yet low-impact Crescent Lodge and Cape Pillar Lodge enroute.
