Tarkine.

Crows Nest: Allen and Unwin, 2010.
Quarto, paperback, 154 pp. colour photographs.

Tasmania's Tarkine wilderness is one of the world's largest temperate rainforests. This vast expanse is a wilderness wonderland of wild rivers, dramatic coastal heathlands, button grass plains, bare mountains, ancient Huon pines, giant eucalypts and myrtles and extraordinary horizontal scrub. It is home to rare and endangered birds - like the Orange-bellied parrot and the White goshawk - and countless animals such as the Eastern pygmy possum. This superbly illustrated book captures the beauty of this unique wilderness. Also available in hardcover [stock id 20963].
