The Tarkine, in Tasmania’s remote northwest, is one of the last great temperate rainforests on Earth. It’s a vast wilderness of ancient myrtle trees, moss-covered valleys, and wild rivers that flow toward a rugged coastline. The sense of isolation here is incredible — a place where the forest feels alive and untouched by time.
