Each November, my dear friend and co-founder of Circle Back Tasmania Cat Bednarski and I faciliate our annual Vision Quest Program. We run this program on a private property just outside Mt Field National Park, where there is a wild clean creek, thriving eucalpyt forest, tree-ferns and other cool temperate rainforest species, pademelons, wallabies, currawong, pink robin and yellow-tailed black cocaktoo…
