Eco Tour at Tarkine. Tarkine: From here we continue on to Tullah the gateway to the Tarkine, here the scenery transitions into a wilderness of untamed beauty. Arriving at Tullah, we enjoy a short lakeside walk, meandering past the tranquil shores of beautiful Lake Rosebery. With each step, the symphony of nature crescendos – the rustle of leaves, the gentle ripple of water, and the distant call of native birds. As the sun sets, the Lakeside Lodge emerges like a sanctuary amidst the wilderness, promising a night of serenity. We spend the night at the charming Tullah Lakeside Lodge.

Eco Tour at Tarkine. Mt Farrell: After breakfast we head out to our walk which is very close to the lodge. The walk ascends steeply through forests into the alpine environment and the summit of Mt Farrell.

Day 3
Launceston
Boating at Pieman River. Pieman River boating ride: After breakfast, we join our private boat transfer down the pristine Pieman River to enjoy a truly personal experience with river and rainforest. This river is engulfed by stunning rainforest with mirror-like reflections at every turn. Our boat transfer drops us off at the edge of the forest, where the river spills into the sea. From here we head north to the coastline to do a section of the ‘Tarkine Coast Track’.

Launceston
Hiking at Tarkine. Tarkine Coast Track: This Coastline is one of the world’s wildest and most spectacular stretches of coastline. Looking out to sea, you would need to travel 2/3 of the entire globe before you reached land again in South America. This spot is like nothing you have ever seen; marvel at the huge surf driven by the roaring 40s, coastal meadows and rocky headlands. Sea eagles, Tasmanian Devils, wombats and seabirds all make this wild coastline their home. Late afternoon we return to our accommodation at the Corinna. It is astonishing that we still need to campaign to save Tasmania’s Tarkine wilderness in the second decade of the 21st century. But we do. The threats are real and current: some Eucalypts and rainforest coupes are to be logged in the next three years, 95% of the region is subject to mineral exploration permits and, off-road vehicles continue to destroy fragile coastal aboriginal sites with nobody held to account.

Eco Tour at Tarkine. Tarkine Forests: After breakfast, we walk straight out of our accommodation for our walk through beautiful, cool, quiet, temperate rainforest. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery of the river area, adorned with vibrant ferns and majestic tall trees, evoking a sense of enchantment. As we traverse the trail, be captivated by the allure of moss-covered trees, diverse fungi, adding to the trail’s allure. This extended hike seamlessly combines the elements of river, forest, hill, and a secluded pontoon to take in the tranquility. Finishing this walk, we’ll jump on the bus to transfer 1hr to the Philosopher Falls Walk. This scenic 2km walk sends us down to a multi-tiered waterfall where we’ll learn about James's “Philosopher” Smith, the man who changed the fortunes of the entire state of Tasmania.
