The Tarkine, Tasmania
It is stated that Arthur River is one of the last truly "wild rivers" of Australia. This Tarkine area of North West Tasmania is
a recognised wilderness area of world value and densely forested with myrtles, sassafras, celery-top pine, laurels,
blackwoods, and giant tree ferns.
The Tarkine is not a National Park and is under threat of mining from two companies.

Elise, one of the current rangers, writes:
"We saw this creature on the Gypsum Lunette
Walk, he's at least 8 cm long, and I sent the photo
off to the SA Museum... It is one of the Robber
Flies ((family; Asilidae) (Phellus olgae) . But I think it
may really be an alien...!"

Baby wombat peaking out from his Mums pouch. A brilliant example of a backward facing
pouch. A wombats pouch faces backwards to prevent dirt from entering the pouch. Thanks to
Strathewan Wildlife Shelter in Victoria for sharing this often unseen view of a baby wombat in a
pouch.
Macquarie Island is a World Heritage Area, 1,300 kilometers south-east of Tasmania in the Southern Ocean.
Despite the challenging weather, Macquarie Island is a popular tourist destination. Rangers show visitors
colonies of the penguin species - kings, rockhoppers, royals and gentoos - and elephant seals.

Woorabinda Reserve 2013 Stirling, Adelaide Hills
Caripook Park, Bridgewater. SA
This smallish park has a creek, bridge, BBQ area, small gazebo, benches and tables. It is fenced, but not
dog proof, and if you are alone there you can let your dog run free. If your dog is under "effective control"
the fencing should be adequate, if not....like mine:), you need to keep a lead on anyway, so perfect for a
visit on or off lead.
There are some nice views from the hillside over the bridge and some beautiful native plantings have
greatly enhanced the park. A mowed grass area gives plenty of room to play, run, kick a ball, get in some
batting practise.

Sunset over the gulf from Mt Lofty lookout.
This is the sunset from Mt Lofty Lookout in April. You can get there by bike, car, or be one of those fit folk
who walk and run up from Waterfall Gully!! We drove and had a pizza while we watched the sun go down
over the gulf. Part of Cleland Conservation Park, there is a $3 parking fee that goes towards the park's
care.
