Jenny and Graham McLean, TWE's proprietors, are experienced bushwalkers and trekkers, with long-standing ties to Tasmania. They seek to share their love of the extraordinary diversity of Tasmania's unique wilderness areas with other Australians and visitors to our country by offering guided bushwalks for small groups to Tasmania's National Parks throughout the year, supported by complementary accommodation and transport services.

Graham McLean
Graham's association with Tasmania began during the 1950's as a young teenager when he hitchhiked around the island camping and using YHA Hostels.

His love for Tasmania's national parks was further influenced by Sir Edmund Hillary with whom he was fortunate to spend a week at a mountaineering camp in 1960, snowed-in during a blizzard at Mt Field National Park.

Accompanied by Jenny he resumed his acquaintance with Tasmania after walking many of Victoria's iconic walks (Victorian Alps, Grampians and Wilson's Promontory).

Although he has walked all routes offered by TWE his experience also extends to other Tasmanian and overseas destinations such as the fabled Routeburn Track in New Zealand and the arduous Kokoda Trail in New Guinea. He has trekked in Patagonia on the Paine Circuit and around el Chaltén (Monte Fitzroy) and more recently in East Africa on Mt Kenya, the Crater Highlands and Mt Kilimanjaro. He has also revisited New Zealand where he trekked around Mt Ruapehu in the Tongariro National Park.

He is qualified in Tour Guiding and Outdoor Recreation, with Remote Area First Aid and Food Handling qualifications.

Graham is TWE's operations manager.

Jenny McLean
Jenny is a registered nurse with family ties in Tasmania dating back to the 19th century.

An avid nature lover, she has accompanied Graham on most of his walks since 1996.
