Embark on a Photographic Adventure to Tasmania’s Untamed Wilderness
Get ready to capture the wild beauty of Tasmania like never before. Join us for an exclusive, 3-day/2-night journey deep into the heart of the untamed Southwest—Melaleuca & Bathurst Harbour, one of Australia’s most remote and stunning locations.
The Ultimate Wilderness Escape
We begin this unforgettable experience with a private flight from Hobart with Par Avion Airlines, soaring across Tasmania’s dramatic landscape in a twin-engine Islander aircraft. As we fly over iconic landmarks like Federation Peak, Precipitous Bluff, and the rugged Western Arthur Range, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a lost world. This is a photographer’s paradise—so make sure your camera is ready for the jaw-dropping vistas that unfold beneath you.
Our destination? Melaleuca, a pristine haven tucked away in the Southwest. A place where time stands still, and the wilderness reigns supreme. Here, surrounded by the serene Bathurst Harbour Marine Reserve—three times the size of Sydney Harbour—we’ll explore one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. This area is home to the rare Orange-bellied Parrot and holds fascinating Aboriginal middens, caves, and untouched waterways, offering endless opportunities for discovery.
Adventure Awaits
Once we land, the adventure truly begins. Over the course of three full days, you’ll have the chance to:
-
Explore the Huon Pine forests on the Old River—an ancient and sacred landscape.
-
Wander the Celery Top Islands, a remote haven of untouched beauty.
- Take a private boat through tranquil waterways.
-
Trek pristine beaches, spot wildlife, or even climb a mountain for panoramic views of the wilderness.
Each day presents an opportunity to connect with the land, its wildlife, and the untouched beauty that few have ever experienced.
Rest in Seclusion
After an exhilarating day of exploration, retreat to the peaceful Southwest Wilderness Camp, hosted by Par Avion.
