I spent 8 days in the Tarkine forest and coast with a small group of photographers. The most amazing place in Tasmania. The aborigional history is also amazing where their tools still can be found all over the place. If you ever get a chance to go there call a tour guide called Tarkine Trails.

The beautiful natural colours of the moss and lichen which grows on the trees in the Tarkine (Old Growth) Forests here in Tasmania.
-
The most stunning place i’ve seen.

The Donaldson River is in the Tarkine wilderness. You can walk within 100 meters here and you will get shots that could be 3 different rivers. An amazing place. One day I hope our moronic government will make Australia’s oldest and largest temperate forest a national park.

The Rainforests of the Tarkine, some 177,000 hectares, include the largest unbroken stand of rainforest in Australia. A relic from the ancient continent, Gondwanaland, the Tarkine rainforest is one of the most significant temperate rainforests on earth. It is home to 56 threatened and endangered species, such as the Giant Freshwater Crayfish – the world’s largest freshwater invertebrate and the Tasmanian Wedge Tailed Eagle – the largest Eagle in Australia. These rainforests are recognised as being one of the most significant tracts of temperate rainforest on earth, and are under imminent threat. While logging of pure stands of rainforest is occurring in and around the periphery of the Tarkine, the logging industry is pushing the Tasmanian Government to allow logging through the heart of the Tarkine Rainforests. This would divide the rainforest and seriously fragment the Tarkine’s wilderness qualities. Information sourced from John Merory I recently had the pleasure of working with Maree Jenkins who is soon to be opening her Tarkine Wilderness Lodge in the heart of the Tarkine Rainforest. Maree shared with me her love and intense passion for this very important little corner of the world. By establishing the Lodge as a viable tourism venture Maree hopes to stave off the chainsaws and brutal machinery of the Government which threaten to steal the life breath of the forest, stripping it of its natural beauty. Save our forests. They desperately need our voice for they have no voice of their own.

A small tannin stained creek on the edge of the Tarkine in north-west Tasmania spills its way toward the sea. / The colouring is a natural stain that comes out of the heath, button grass and melaleuca vegetation. This stained water is very common in Tasmania and is some of the sweetest water I have ever drank. / When the water is shallow with a sand bottom it is a beautiful sepia tone and as it gets deeper it turns black. / When it hits turbulence it whitens the same as any water does and gives a myriad sepia shades depending on the level of turbulence. / Nikon D40 / Nikkor AF-S 18-200mm VR lens at 20mm / ISO 200 / 0.62 secs at F/20 / No Flash 959+ views featured in Waterfall Photography November 2008 / featured in Natural Colour & Light group 24th March 2009 / featured in Dimensions group 24th September 2009 / featured in Alphabet Soup group 26th September 2009 / featured in Photographers of Redbubble group 5th October 2009 Top Ten in the Waterfall Group – Buyers Only Challenge in February 2009 / Top Ten in Tasmania Groups Waterfall Challenge 19th September 2009 / Top Ten in The Alphabet Group – Best of N Challenge 3rd October 2009

Shaddy and I went for a walk, we took some pics, this is one of them. (insert cheeky giggle here) Painterly effect achieved in camera, best viewed LARGE. Shot in the Tarkine Rainforest courtesy of Maree at the Tarkine Wilderness Lodge Shaddy at work…. (insert another cheeky giggle here) It’s been a huge weekend, exhibitions, new friends made, reunions with old friends, tarkine treks, new techniques learnt, inspiration by the bucketload… I’ll post a journal when I have time but consider this fair warning – this weekend has unearthed a new passion and I have a feeling I may be entering my abstract phase ;)

On the western edge of the Tarkine where the Southern Ocean pounds against the Tasmanian coastline is a sparsely habitated area where nature can run wild pretty much most of the time. / The tracks the animals leave in the pristine sand bely the multitude of different animals, some that you would never expect to see on the beach. / Amongst these many types of bird tracks is the tracks of a wombat that we disturbed on the dunes and who was last seen kicking up sand as he barrelled off into the distance at a great rate of knots. Nikon D90 / Nikkor 18-200mm lens featured in Beautiful group 28th October 2009 / featured in Nikon D90 users group 3rd November 2009
