This is the combined track of a 3-day walk we did in January ’16. It’s a bit dodgy because the GPS battery went flat on the West Wall.
We camped at Wild Dog Creek which is fine if you don’t mind queuing for the toilet and people squealing at 11pm because they’ve never seen a possum outside their tent before. Might look for somewhere a bit more private if I was to go in the middle of summer again.
Total distance: 32863 m Max elevation: 1489 m Total climbing: 1973 m
A side table made from scrap steel and a disused road sign on top. I designed a triangulated leg system which makes lots of interesting geometrical shapes as you walk around it.
The game re-creates the journey of a convict ship from England to Tasmania in the 1830’s and contains a number of complex tasks centred around responsibilities of crew selection, navigation, supply and convict health & morale.
If you’re not up for playing the actual game, below is a gallery of the bits I was responsible for.
Made from 100% salvaged and recycled materials. Angle steel from old bed frames, pine boards, pallet and a sheet of melamine MDF. My stick welding skills are still a bit gorilla-ish but improving.
An interesting Mt Wellington walk starting at the Springs, up the Ice House track (completely missing the ice houses), lunch just south of the summit and back down via Zigzag & Pinnacle tracks.
