Captured in The Trowutta State Forest Reserve, Tasmania Tasmania’s Cool Temperate Rainforest / Introduction / Tasmania contains Australia’s largest tracts of cool temperate rainforest, covering around 10% of the State. Cool temperate rainforest is very different from rainforest found in warmer climates. Unlike tropical and warm temperate rainforests, the trees do not have large buttresses, there are no palms, and climbing plants are rare in Tasmania’s rainforest. / Cool temperate rainforest is a verdant,silent, cool, dark and damp place where both the trunks of trees and the forest floor are usually festooned with a luxuriant carpet of mosses and lichens. In autumn and early winter in particular, the rainforest floor is dappled with an array of brightly coloured fungi. / What is a cool temperate rainforest? / Defining Tasmania’s cool temperate rainforest is difficult, partly because it can grow in so many different habitats. However, there are generally three things to look out for: / Tasmania’s rainforest is characterised by three factors: / Most rainforest occurs in areas receiving over 1 200 mm of rain a year, but some isolated patches occur in damp gullies in drier areas; / It is dominated by particular trees, such as myrtle, leatherwood, celery-top pine, sassafras, Huon pine, pencil pine, King Billy pine or deciduous beech maybe important in some areas; and / Species living in rainforest don’t require disturbance, such as fire, to reproduce, and are generally disadvantaged by disturbance, which allows in light-dependant, short-lived competitors. / Ancient connections / Tasmanian rainforest contain some species with an ancestry dating back to the super continent of Gondwana, and have been present in Tasmania for more than 60 million years. They evolved well before the species that dominate what we call “sclerophyll vegetation” (like eucalypts and acacias). Particularly ancient genera with fossil and pollen evidence to support their presence and evolution within Tasmania include Agastachys, Athrotaxis, Anopterus, Archeria, Bellendena, Cenarrhenes, Dicksonia, Eucryphia, Phyllocladus, Microcachrys, Microstrobos, Nothofagus, Orites, Lomatia, Tasmannia, and Telopea. / Different types of Tasmanian rainforest / Tasmanian rainforest grows in many different places and in many different ways. There are four main types: callidendrous (tall park-like rainforest with an open understorey); thamnic (rainforest with a shrubby understorey); implicate (short tangled vegetation); and, montane (woodlands and forest at high altitude). The distribution of these various types is largely controlled by soil fertility and altitude. / Where fire has burnt the vegetation eucalypts may occur as emergents over a rainforest understorey, such forest is referred to as mixed forest. If there is a cover of less than 5% eucalypts over a rainforest understorey then the vegetation is termed rainforest. More eucalypts than this means it is defined as mixed forest.

The Tasmanian Landscape is a glass work that belongs to a glass instillation called ‘The Story of the River’. It talks about the loss of natural rainforest landscape that has been taken over by Forest Industries for the use of pulp for the Japanese news papers. / I used recycled glass, rainforest remnants and news paper that had the forest debate in during 2006.

Hiding in the hills of Tasmania, I came across this green Shack. it was the home of a friend for sometime and now it is sitting here full of memories.

The ‘Big Tree’ is at Dip Falls Tasmania. I visited this tree knowing that it is one of a few old large trees left in Tasmania. Not able to hug the tree, I climbed into it’s arms and imagined the world over the time of its life, here in the north-west of Tasmania. Approximately 800 years old, this ancient tree gentle stands here giving quality of life to many animals, birds, insects, algae, raptures, humans and provides oxygen and is the best carbon holding living plant on earth. / Please save these trees and respect old and ancient plant life. These are the homes to many living creatures who have the right to live in and on this tree for centuries before we came along and illuminated many of it’s forest species in a mere 200 years. / This is a crime of humanity! / Take with a Nikon D40 on auto focus.

The Sassafras tree is growing on the Myrtle tree. Like most rain-forest trees in Tasmania, they can live off each other without destroying themselves. When a tree falls over or dies, often another one will take up the nutrient and continue to grow in this amazing environment. / I have altered the image only slightly to show the support I have for these trees. They are to me (the woman and a girl in the background) me and my daughter Zoe. / I have wanted to animate these two women so that I can make a statement about saving the rain-forest. If you know anyone skilled in doing this, I have a great script to follow and hopefully put it on television. Our rain-forest is being destroyed by forest industries and now, global warming. I see the forest as female, a nurturer of life. This unique Gondwanaland rain-forest is being clear-felled in Tasmania to allow for plantation trees to dominate so that forest industries can get fat on the money made for newspaper industries. the forest will end up as pulp. / http://www.apstas.com/gondwanatimeline.htm#GONDWANA

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Russell Falls, Mt Field National Park, Tasmania. A Late afternoon shot at the famous Russell Falls – Not sure if I have done it justice! Russell Falls is easily the best known and most popular waterfall in Tasmania. Comprising of two impressive rectangular walls of water, it’s no wonder that it’s the centrepiece of the Mt Field National Park – The state’s first national park.

How can we save this forest? / This Rainforest now living at Cradle Mountain is one of the rarest forests and significant places to visit. It is an ancient Gondwana rainforest, which has existed more than for 65,000 years. / The Canopy is mainly King Billy Pine, Celerty Top Pine and Myrtle. / The floor of the forest is tangled with a carpet of decaying life. The roots here are covered with moss , likens and algea and in summer it has a splendid show of pink heath and blooms of flowering miniture plant life ready to sporn. / The lush green of this forest is a great sorce of healing, but lately it has been as dry as a bone and suffering from the effects of climate change. How can we protect these ancient places as they are so significant to the world and the ancestors of all trees on earth.

This Eucalyptus tall trees canopy, now living on the west coast of Tasmania, is endangered from the intrusion of the forest industries that are taking over the Tasmanian landscape. The lack of bio-diversity is the main problem as the industries that are surrounding these heritage areas are spraying herb- asides and fertilizes to produce pulp trees for the Japanese news paper industries. We, the visitors, are also a great concern for these areas as they are so fragile. We carry with us diseases that can spread from one forest to another, just as the logging industry dose with there trucks, moving from area to area without being vigilant. Tasmania has a die-back disease that is killing our eucalyptus trees and our wattle.

My gate is designed to show the destruction that is happening to the Tasmanian blue gum, Eucalyptus globulus. The leaves are made out of recycled rusty forty four gallon drums and other mesh metals, showing the skeletal form of the leaf disease that is attacking our native forest in Tasmania. There are two worms, one on the other side of the leaf-gate and one on the handle. This worm that is eating the leaves leaving just a skeletal pattern of veins is eating our Tasmanian blue gum trees which are dieing from the insect pests that thrive in the cloned mono-culture plantation trees, ‘Eucalyptus nitons’ grown for Japanese news papers. / You can see the plantation trees in the distance. They are taking over the Tasmanian landscape, causing blue green algea in the waters downstream from herb-aside and fertilizer spray. Forest Industries are responsible for the degridation of Tasmanian forest diversity and river systems. The Tasmanian Government has spent millions of dollars to get the contract for the pulp but has not yet found anyone to fund the ‘pulp mill’ which is situated at Beauty point, on the Tamar River. / Please write to the Tasmanian Government and stop this Gondwanaland destruction.

We were racing the clock to try get to Port Arthur by sunset, and there was just too many bends, and slow trucks… However, this beautiful scene popped up, and we were only 10 mins from the site, I had to make a decision… I’m glad I stopped, turns out, the site was closed anyhow, and I got this shot of some weeping willows, and still water pools. 5 mins allong what seems to be an un-named side street, I think it was private property too, but not signed..

These beautiful falls are not named, or signed. Was an accident that I even found them, getting lost is a wonderful way to find somewhere you havn’t been. At the base of Mount Wellington, Hobart, I’m sure someone knows where these are. I think the stream came from the mountain, snow melt or rain. Beautiful and fresh, and quite cool. Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Canon 50D, 10mm, 16:9 crop. Available large and definately best viewed Large!
