The Kunanyi Challenge is set in Hobart's backyard with the event starting at the Longley International Pub, heading up Kunanyi (Mount Wellington). There are two challenges to choose from; you can ride to the summit (21.6kms) or to the Spring (14.1km).

The concept of Wisdom Through Wood emerged from the Tasmanian forest in 2012. It's now the go-to place to learn green woodworking in Australia. The school, and open-air workshop, are surrounded by tall trees and a fern-lined creek which nestles naturally into the forest on the southern slopes of kunanyi / Mt Wellington. It's about a 25-minute drive from Hobart. Our woodworking courses range from one to nine days and progress from an introduction to the tools and techniques of green woodworking through to creating a chair from a tree. We also make stools, spoons and bowls. The longer courses are not more difficult, they simply go into more detail and you experience a broader range of tools and techniques. Most courses will have four to five participants and you can be almost any age. The youngest student we've had so far was 6 years of age. And the oldest was 78. Participants are from all walks of life and often have vastly different levels of woodworking experience. In the open-air workshop, you’ll have your own pole lathe, draw horse and hand tools. We'll guide you through the experience you seek – in a way, and at a pace, that suits you.

Discover the wonders of kunanyi / Mt Wellington like never before. Listen to the stories of the mountain’s history and unique plants and animals all in the care of knowledgeable local guides. Be coached through Wim Hof Method breathwork and icy river plunge (by Piet, trained by Wim Hof himself) followed by writer-led journaling beside a roaring fire and mountain stream.
