This week I ventured on foot into the Tarkine region in north-eastern Tasmania- a small area of still untouched old forest that has existed since the days of Gondwanaland and the dinosaurs. One of the largest and oldest areas of temperate rainforest in the world it was an expedition through a mossy ancient underworld.
I trekked for 6 days with a guide threading our way through an emerald kingdom and camping by streams of delicious pure water. The hiking was sometimes a strange experience that varied from navigating slippery tangles of roots to walking on a soft confetti of multicoloured beech leaves or springing along on a bouncy pillow of forest mulch carpeted in thick moss.
