John Dalton, Crossing Ironbound (TRAVEL 2020)

The Ironbound Range is the most challenging section on the 10-day hike along the South Coast Track in Tasmania. Approached across flooded creeks, the strenuous accent carrying full packs raises the heart rate, even at altitude on a cool and misty day. Smiles are hard to elicit during a quick break. The return to sea level invites a longer break and the chance admire another remote and beautiful bay.
