Mark Tipple

Mark Tipple is a photographer and filmmaker who constantly gets lost and confused by what he’s supposed to be shooting. Primarily found underwater working on environmental or humanitarian projects he somehow stumbled into Kathmandu and tagged along with two World Expedition treks; through both the Annapurna and Everest circuits. Along the way rumours spread of his knee blowing out and had to ‘catch a horse back to Lukla’, but that’s only speculation; he states that if you could swim in the mountains he’d probably give up the underwater pursuits for a mountaineering lifestyle. When not on assignment he lives in a van on the South Australian coast and fumbles between writing his own bios and a personal photo series of the shakiest landscapes begging him to buy a tripod.

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!
