What is special about the Tarkine?
The Tarkine is the largest wild natural region in north west Tasmania and is a vital haven for flora and wildlife. There are more than 60 species of plants and fauna that are either endangered or rare.
The Tarkine (Indigenous name: takayna), officially takayna / Tarkine, is an area in the north west Tasmania, Australia, which contains significant areas of wilderness. The Tarkine is noted for its beauty and natural values, containing the largest area of Gondwana cool-temperate rainforest in Australia as well as for its prominence in Tasmania’s early mining history. The area’s high concentration of Aboriginal sites has led to it being described as “one of the world’s great archaeological regions”
