Rainforests
Tasmanian Wilderness, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2011, boasts some of the oldest rainforests on Earth with an abundance of Gondwanan flora (plants and trees that thrived on ancient supercontinent Gondwana) plants and trees. North West and Tarkine regions host some of these rainforests which contain Nothofagus trees as well as prodigiously long-lived Huon pine. Furthermore, this region is famed for its ancient landforms, pristine rivers and alpine vegetation.
Tasmania’s southwestern Wilderness region consists of closed forests, eucalyptus woodlands and buttongrass moorland with unique mosaics of forest and open country terrain. Flora diversity was one of the main factors contributing to earning Tasmanian Wilderness its UNESCO World Heritage listing.
Nothofagus cunninghamii, Tasmania’s state tree, forms large, crooked-leaning trunks covered with epiphytic bryophytes and lichens in its eucalyptus forest habitats. As elevation increases, canopy coverage becomes sparser with dense scrub dominated by shrubs such as Phyllocarpus beech-mertensii, Acradenia ferox, Archeria hirtella and Richea pandanifolia shrubs. Understorey complexity increases significantly as competing species vie with each other for light requirements whereas diversity decreases accordingly. Fern diversity also decreases.
Hiking, fishing and kayaking in this stunning wilderness provide excellent opportunities for hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing, especially Tasmanian devils. To fully experience all it has to offer take a Gordon River cruise or visit Sarah Island and Hells Gate ruins before setting out on an AirWalk adventure from Tahune AirWalk Adventures.
