Surrounding Area

The Tarkine is not just one wilderness, it provides an archipelago of experiences. See its vast forests of myrtle, leatherwood and pine trees and engage with them as living links to Gondwanaland that it shares with Patagonia, Papua-New Guinea and New Zealand.
The 447,000 hectare Tarkine Wilderness Area is Australia's largest tract of unprotected temperate rainforest... You won't find it named on many maps but the region is bound by the Arthur River to the north, the Pieman River to the south, the Murchison Highway to the east and the Southern Ocean.
It is a lost-world, the 30,000-year heritage of the Tarkiner people, one of three bands of aboriginal people who once lived in north-west Tasmania. It is home to one of the greatest concentrations of aboriginal sites in Australia.
Almost all The Tarkine's 447,000 hectares is alive with snakes, frogs, birds, 28 different mammals, one species of dragon, endangered wedge-tailed eagles and the now rare Astacopsis gouldi - the world's biggest freshwater lobster. Corinna is your Southern gateway to this

Corinna is accessible from the south ,east and the north. Access from the South( Strahan / Hobart) is by the unique Fatman barge crossing on the Pieman at Corinna via Zeehan.. From the East ( Cradle Mountain/ Burnie) its via the Waterfalls at Waratah and Railton or over the Pieman River at the Reece Dam.. Access from the North is via Smithton , Stanley , Marrawah (site of the last Tasmanian Tiger sighting) and Arthur River along the Western Explorer , this really embodies the Wilderness Experience. Whichever way you come, you will, for a few kms, take a section of the famous "silica road", an all weather surface using the tailings from the nearby silica mine. The locals say that this beautiful white road on either side of Corinna provides a better driving experience than the sealed sections. The silica road is the sign that the amazing wilderness experience is within a few km.
