This backpack has the look of a drawstring backpack but without the drawstring. There are no zippers to deal with but items still remain secure with front snap closure. The backpack can be expanded by undoing the side snaps. How cool is that!

Favourite rucksack, strapped on with the Freeloaders.
It could be laid down, but my wife was riding on the back so it made sense to stand the pack up to give her some room to put her feet on the footsies.
Part of the Tasmanian World Heritage Area, the Walls of Jerusalem National Park is one of finest wilderness areas of the island. The mountains of the Walls of Jerusalem are so spectacular it once took biblical names to describe them: Solomon's Throne, King David's Peak, Mt. Jerusalem, or the Temple.
With the neighbouring Cradle Mountain area the park shares many of its characteristics – a series of craggy dolerite peaks that enclose a central basin with alpine tarns, pencil pine forests and open moorland. What sets the Walls of Jerusalem apart from Cradle Mountain is the lack of visitors - the only way in is on foot, with walking tracks approaching the Walls from several directions.
A rather small and secluded national park, the Walls of Jerusalem is a destination still off the beaten path, suitable for a shorter trip with a few overnight stays. The footpaths in the park are well maintained, though more advanced routing options (e.g. Zion Gate and Zion Vale) would require gaiters since some of the less frequented tracks are overgrown by dense scrub.

Having returned from South Coast Track to Hobart couple of days ago, we drove to northern Tasmania during a period of changeable weather, and seeing a promising sunny weather window being forecast over Christmas break we took our chances and set out on a 4-days long hiking trip across the national park, an area I've been aware since my Overland track crossing couple of years ago.
We took the trip easy; our daily portions were just around 10 kilometres per day. The less we hiked with backpacks on our shoulders, the more we enjoyed the landscape given the sunny weather that was of a constant bliss throughout the trip.
I recently put together a book for my dad that contained photographs of some of our many wilderness camps. I thought I would share some of those campviews and memories here.

Hammocking among the trees. During this trip I remember being schooled on proper food storage by a volunteer ranger. That ranger made an impression - mostly because I knew the importance of proper food storage while in the backcountry and absentmindedly chose to neglect on a short-walk-turned-long away from camp.
Here's a few highlights from our 4 day backpacking trip into the Mt Jefferson Wilderness. The 5 mile hike into Carl Lake is lined with wild huckleberries and views of Mt. Jefferson.
From our base camp, we hiked the PCT and other trails with swimmable lakes. A true wilderness experience with only a few other campers.
The trailhead is accessed from the Jack Creek Trailhead off of Hwy 22, between Suttle Lake and Sisters (12 miles). It's about a 3 hour drive from Portland with about 5 miles of gravel.
Add this to your summer camping list.
The view south from the top of Dick's Pass. Susie Lake is on the left and Aloha Lake is viable to the right. Elevation 9200 feet. We've hiked 100 miles now.
This photo was taken in rural De Smet. 8-year old Hazel was able to catch a quick sunrise with her dog Molly while waiting to catch the school bus. Beautiful sunrises are part of what Hazel loves about her home.
