One Year in Tasmania

In a recent blog about Maatsuyker Island, I spoke of an island visit from two shiny videographers Simon Treweek and his mate Nick ‘Noodle’ Nain-Smith. During their stay the boys experienced the full brunt of Tasmania’s Southern Ocean, with knock-down winds, lashings of rain and tantalising bursts of sunshine. I doubt anything could have dampened their enthusiasm, for in 24 hours the boys soaked up the island with their cameras to create the 3-minute video 

Now, not one but two of Simon’s adventure-plus videos, The Edge of the Earth and Maatsuyker, are shortlisted in the . I thoroughly recommend grabbing 3 minutes then another 3 minutes from your own crazy adventures to view them. Have your say in , open now until May 2nd. To vote, simply like♥ your favourite(s).

      It is great to see Maatsuyker through Simon and Nick’s eyes, and to get to experience the eye of the wave at Shipstern Bluff!

  3. Two x three minutes (plus reading time) very well spent. What a fabulous post — and it definitely makes me want to re-visit Tasmania. Best of luck to Simon and Nick for the competition.
