Through the power of personal stories, embark on a breathtaking journey to Takayna / Tarkine—Australia's largest temperate rainforest, located in the rugged northwest of Lutruwita / Tasmania. This is a land where ancient myrtle forests meet roaring coastlines, where misty valleys cradle ecosystems millions of years old, and where the spirit of one of Earth’s last wild places continues to thrive despite relentless threats.
