Hi I am David your guide, looking forward to getting out into the wilderness with you soon. I completed an excellent local Tour guiding course and have 10 years’ guiding experience in Tasmania. My background in hiker search and rescue and involvement as a volunteer firefighter equip me to look after guests well. I have a solid understanding of the wilderness having studied geography, geology, botany and hydrology at the University of Tasmania. I have also worked as a water resources scientist. In addition, I flavor your experience with memorable stories that guests enjoy.
