Field notes
The route account names Maria Island, Freycinet, Cradle Mountain and Derwent Bridge, including a 120-kilometre day into a headwind and a night that snapped the tent poles. The page says Mitch shot most of the landscapes, while Justy focused on wildlife and drone footage; it also includes phone photos from the road.
