The Tarkine Wilderness, located in the Tassie NW corner, is either the second largest temperate rainforest in the world or the largest temperate rainforest in NW Tasmania (depending on who you believe).

Good going! Exciting to read about your trip!

Don’t rest too long. You have a country to pedal across!
Interested in what those orange locks are…

Love the videos! Thought you might spend a couple days in Fernie in your own bed but good for you for continuing on.
