Please note that this section of the Tarkine website is still under construction and hence is only partially complete. Thanks for your patience.
One of the great things about the Tarkine is that it is an accessible wild place, with great opportunities for seeing, accessing and experiencing the Tarkine's extraordinary natural and cultural values. A number of small towns provide great access and accommodation points for the Tarkine, and recreational opportunities in the Tarkine include short and long bushwalks, kayaking, rafting, fishing, photography, camping, self-touring and 4wd-ing, along with wildlife viewing and nature appreciation. Take your time when visiting the Tarkine - the Tarkine's differing moods and landscapes can't be fully appreciated in a quick drive. We recommend you spend several days in the North-West region, which could include separate day-trips to different parts of the Tarkine or to engage in different experiences.
The Tarkine is situated in North-West Tasmania, which can be accessed by air at either the Burnie-Wynyard or Devonport airports, by the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service at Devonport, or by road with Burnie the key turn-off or gateway to the Tarkine approaching from the North, or via Queenstown / Strahan if approaching the Tarkine from the south.

ALL VISITORS TO THE TARKINE SHOULD BE WELL PREPARED, AND SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION, AND NOTE THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF HAZARDS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BY ALL VISITORS, INCLUDING:
