G’day!
I may have grown up in a landlocked country on the other side of the world, but I have been a wilderness guide on this beautiful mountainous island we call lutruwita/Tasmania for over ten years.
I have a deep love for Tasmania’s landforms, natural and cultural heritage. I am also committed to carrying on the long established tradition of Tasmanian wilderness photography. As a guide, I enjoy spending time on country and helping people connect with nature. My role at TWGA is to encourage a sense of custodianship for our wild places and to keep the Association true to its objects and purposes.

Hey! I’m Amelie (she/her). I grew up adventuring in lutruwita/Tas and have been fortunate to develop a deep appreciation for the natural values and beauty of this wild little island. I’m currently working around the state as a bushwalking guide after ski instructing in Aotearoa/NZ over winter. I love sharing my passion for the natural world with folks amongst the forests, mountains, beaches, and/or with a cuppa in hand. I’m excited to be on TWGA committee to bring people and ideas together, and to keep our wild places protected into the future. 

G’day! I have loved growing up in lutruwita/Tasmania. I have been bushwalking since I could walk with my dad and my brothers. In 2014 I completed my Certificate IV in Outdoor Adventure Tour Guiding, and immediately felt that I had found ‘my people’ with the guiding community. I have been a bushwalking guide for multiple companies, working mainly on the overland track. I believe in the value of wild spaces and the power of people, and love facilitating a transformative journey. I have recently completed my Master of Teaching and will soon start work as an Outdoor Education teacher. I look forward to teaching young Tasmanians about the value of our wilderness and everything that it has to offer. 

Hello, my name is Vito. I’m the current treasurer for TWGA. I’ve been a guide for about a decade now, mainly on the Overland track, though after many years I am no longer full time. I spend my days working in Horticulture at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Garden nursery in Hobart. It would be no surprise that my passion is plants and their conservation, as well as food production gardens and self sustainability. I also like to travel, most typically to the ends of the planet where the are mountains, people are few, landscapes are vast, time slows down and the world is quiet. TWGA is a great conduit for conservation and community.

I have been working as a guide and outdoor instructor in both NZ & AUS since 2012. I currently teach wilderness first aid and tour guiding based in Hobart, and guide sea kayak tours through the summer. I have had occasional involvement with the TWGA since 2019 and am excited to be back on the committee for 2022. 

G’day I’m Kenna, I have been involved with the TWGA for a while now, I love how it has grown and gives the Tasmanian guiding community a voice to shape our industry into the future. I’m currently working as a canyon guide, bushwalking guide, and an outdoor rec instructor, mostly here in lutruwita/Tasmania but I don’t mind getting up to the NT too. I think our work in the outdoors is an incredible profession and when done well the experiences we help people have can be life changing. lutruwita/Tasmania is a place like no other. I think many guides form a deep connection here and feel a responsibility to care for the areas we spend big chunks of our lives in, fingers crossed for the future.  
 

Hi, I’m Mads and I’ve lived and worked in lutruwita/Tasmania for the last two years. I currently guide bushwalking tours, sea kayaking expeditions and school programs. In 2021 I completed my Cert IV in Outdoor Recreation in Victoria, which gave me an appreciation for the importance of advanced training opportunities for guides. I’m thrilled to join the TWGA Committee this year and contribute to the Association’s goals.
