Continue reading →: Twister CanyonIt has been a VERY long time between Blue Mountains canyons for our group, longer than I think most of us can fathom or want to admit! But sometimes life gets in the way and other hobbies and responsibilities take priority. Nonetheless, it was time to immerse ourselves in a…

This time it was me, Haydo and Sophie. Bonnum Pic in the Southern Highlands has been…

Ice caves, active volcanoes, mountains, epic waterfalls, hot springs, caves, multi-day hikes, glaciers, ice-bergs, black sand beaches… Iceland has it ALL.

Continue reading →: Ocean SlotHow about an abseil closer to home? After all, the Blue Mountains is a 2.5 – 3 hour one way drive from where I live, and I was starting to feel very burnt out from all the travelling and driving. Ethan knew of an ocean slot abseil on the Central…

Hello,
I’m Rach!
Welcome to Rachmartee, my personal collection of adventures through-out Australia over the years. Here, I invite you to join me, my friends or my pups on a journey of mishaps, bush bashes, lesser known trails, heartfelt stories and epic scenery!
I have lived and grown up within the ACT and rural NSW my whole life. Getting outside fills my heart with joy and wonder, it calms my nerves, helps me feel grounded and helps me feel connected to this world. I hope these stories and adventures will be an archive collection I can reflect back on for many years, for my family to see what I am getting up to on all these crazy trips and for my children to one day see the crazy and wild things that shaped who their mother is.
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
