Tasmania's Southern Forests
Still Wild Still Threatened

At the heart of Tasmania's Southern Forests, wild rivers flow through valleys containing forests which evolved from the ancient continent of Gondwanaland. In the valleys of the Styx, Upper Florentine, Middle Huon, Weld, and Upper Derwent flourish some of the world's oldest and most spectacular ecosystems. Magnificent oldgrowth Eucalypt forests, the world's tallest hardwood trees, and ancient Tolkienesque rainforest lap against those parts of the south west landscape that have received protection. Along the eastern boundary of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, encircled by incredibly beautiful mountains and alpine regions that are protected, these large areas of pristine forest are intentionally left unreserved. These forests have been given a death sentence, at the hands of the woodchippers. These areas have been identified by experts including government bodies as being of World Heritage in their own right and as being significant for maintaining the integrity of the existing protected areas.
