Born to parents who met through the Hobart Walking Club, you could easily say that bushwalking and outdoor adventure is in my blood! I have a dual passion for photography and climbing mountains, which has let me to a “life of climb” all over the world. I also like packrafting, kayaking cycling and astronomy. Although I have lived on the “mainland” for many years now, I still love getting back to Tasmania for the unique landscape there. Elsewhere, the Himalayas have become a firm favourite destination since my first trek in 1992, with New Zealand as runner up for being a mountaineering paradise. So much to do , so little annual leave!

Welcome to the Blog

The name Paddy Pallin certainly means many things to many people. For some it brings to mind the genial personality of one of Australia’s pioneer bushwalkers. Others will recognise the name from the label of a sleeping bag or rucksack that has given a generation of faithful service in the great outdoors. Or perhaps it brings to mind the colourful history of Australia’s greatest cross-country ski race. For most people however, the name is associated with a group of specialist retail stores catering for travellers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Experience Blog is a place to collaboratively share knowledge, adventures and inspire each other to enjoy the outdoors. We stand firmly by the motto that 'Experience is Everything' & strive to embody that philosophy within our community whenever possible.

Thanks for stopping by!
