The Neck Story

GALLERY

'Green Tape' • The federal government is rushing through legislation to make the already weak EPBC Act more impotent still.

Recognising Indigenous heritage • Culture shapes our natural world, as well as how we see it.

Don't hit the Snooze Button • Great experiences often require overcoming difficulties, but we can thrive if learn to overcome the impasses.

The Aussie UL 'Big Three' • Wanna go sub-two kilos all up for your shelter, sleep system and pack?

Untrashing Djulpan • Australia’s Top End is being trashed by marine plastic pollution, but Sea Shepherd is working with Indigenous Rangers from the Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation to fight back.

Forestry Watch • Science for the people; a fledgling grass-roots group holds Tasmanian loggers to account.

Q+A with Reinhold Messner • Few alpinists have rivalled Italy’s Reinhold Messner. He was the first to climb Everest without oxygen, and the first to climb all 8000+ metre peaks. Way back in 1982, Wild interviewed Messner; in August this year, editor James McCormack had another chance to ask him about adventure, risk, his recent movie making, and the lessons he’s learned over the nearly 40 years since we last spoke.

Australia’s Whitewater Grand Prix • The Australian Whitewater Grand Prix combines races down the North Esk, the Lea and the Snowy Rivers. Lachie Carracher looks where it all began, and what it has meant for Australian paddling.

Tim Macartney-Snape • Now in his 60s, Tim Macartney-Snape—first Australian Everest summitter, and Wild Magazine columnist—shows little sign of slowing down.

HARWOODS HOLE • The fascinating history, and stunning beauty, of the birthplace of alpine caving in New Zealand.

BYLOT ISLAND • A month-long expedition to the high Arctic’s Bylot Island allowed Grant Dixon to experience one of the planet’s most remote places.

KNOW NOTHING • No partners. No trails. No track notes. No plan. No worries. James McCormack heads to Mugii Murumban on a quest for discovery.

Subscribe to Wild since 1981 • For nearly 40 years now, Wild has been bringing the community stories like no other magazine. Stories of adventure. Stories of conservation. Stories of wilderness. Show your support by subscribing.

WORTH EVERY STEP • What would make a young couple derail their lives and disappear into the North American wilderness for six months? The lure of adventure on the US’s 4,000+km Pacific Crest Trail, that’s what. Well that, and love.

Refuge on the Katherine • Seeking stress relief after weeks in COVID-19 quarantine, Catherine Lawson sought solace on the soothing Katherine River. Not even crocs, or the memories of her mother’s pranking, could shatter the calm.

GOAT HUNTING IN PARADISE • Even the heart of Europe has a surprisingly wild side, as Matthew Crompton discovers.
