Pandan,i Cradle Mountain Tasmania by cradlemountain
Gondwanaland plant, ancient and unique to the Alpine Tasmanian Mountains. There are four species. This one is being logged, to be replaced by the cloned Eucalyptus ‘niton’, grown for the Japanese news- paper industry. / Please Note:...notes from document which have amazing photography or the forest being destroyed in Tasmania. http://tasmaniantimes.com/images/uploads/SWST_report_to_the_IUCN_-_low_res.pdf “The TWWHA rainforests are the best example of their type in Australia for the protection of biodiversity” (Balmer et. el. 2004:27). However, this biodiversity is under threat due to the the destruction of forests surrounding the TWWHA (HVEC &TWS 2007). The habitat provided by old-growth forests is not as readily present in the juvenile forests which will replace them. Rare, endangered and endemic species under threat from logging and burning operations include the Tasmanian Wedge-Tailed Eagle, the White Goshawk and the Tasmanian Devil (HVEC & TWS 2007), threatened marsupial Dasyurus maculatus (spotted-tail quoll) and all five of Tasmania’s / endemic mammals (Driessen & Mallick 2003). Invertebrates include the threatened southern hairy snail (Austrochloritis victoriae), the threatened giant velvet worm (Tasmanipatus barretti) and repre-sentatives the primitive moth family Hepialidae, many being endemic (Bryant & Jackson 1999). / There are several areas surveyed for the SWST 2008 report which contain Richea Pandaniifolia, including TN42E, TN50A, TN46A, SX14C, FO60A. The crown of this Tasmanian endemic provides food for the larvae of the Proditirix niesleni / (the giant Tasmanian pandani moth), the largest moth in the Yponombutoidea family the only record of this genus found in Australia (Mallick & Driessen).

Snow Gums, The Bluff by MissyD
Taken on the walking track across The Bluff. Located in the high county of North East Victoria, Australia. An absolutely beautiful walk and the views are fantastic. When you get to the end of the walk you will be standing in scenes from the movie The Man From Snowy River. The wild flowers are beautiful and the hut at the start of the track is great. / Alpine National Park, Victoria, Australia. / Nikon D40X / 18-55mm Nikkor /

Craig's Hut B&W by Fiona Kersey
Craig’s Hut’ is situated in the Alpine National Park in the Victorian highlands about 60kms east of Mansfield on a small knoll on an open spur 1455m above sea level. It was built especially for the film ‘The Man from Snowy River’ in 1981 and provides grand views in all directions. It was called Craig’s Hut after Jim Craig who was the lead actor in the film and played by Tom Burlinson. The hut was also re-used in the sequel and another film called ‘Cool Change’. The original hut was only a prop being built without a floor. There has been other variants built since then including one built in 1993 and constructed of horizontal wooden slabs with bark over an iron roof. Unfortunately, the hut was burnt down by wild fire on the 11th December 2006. It has again been rebuilt in December of 2007. Panasonic FZ50 / f/8; 1/400 sec; ISO 100
