Tarra Bulga National Park

Myrtle beech forest at Tarra Bulga State Forest, Victoria, Australia.

This photo was taken up near where the Gippsland fires had burnt in Feb 2009. Luckily The park didnt really get touched bar the spot fire near the information building/rangers office.

Tarra Bulga National Park surived the Black saturday fires and still stands though a few kilometres down the road it is a different story all together from the top of Mount Tassie right to the bottom of the mountain everything has been wiped out including peoples homes, farms, vechiles, communication towers, forest plantations etc.

Tarra Bulga National Park belongs to the following groups:

    Thank you Helene,

    I was walking up this track in the Tarra Bulga National park in Gippsland and there on the side of the track was this very amazing old tree.
