Above me towers 500-year-old Myrtles, below me the furry green moss cushions my behind as I slide over fallen logs and follow the so-called ‘track’ that is barely an imprint on the forest floor.

I am in the Tarkine, a 650-million-year-old rainforest, the largest temperate rainforest in Australia and the second largest in the world. It’s a different world, it’s challenging, the extinct Tasmanian Tiger could be just behind the next tree, the mobile phone will never ring and I am having the time of my life…

A story about six days in Tasmania’s Tarkine Wilderness, including forest and coastal day hikes and plenty of ‘bush liquer’. Excellent pictures, plenty of anecdotes and nature at its best.
