THE ONE FOREST
Tasmania's north-west coast is blanketed by Australia's largest tract of temperate rainforest: takayna/Tarkine. At its edge, along the bank of the Pieman River, the former gold-mining settlement of Corinna is a cluster of cottages transformed into tourist accommodation. Walking trails radiate into the forest from Corinna, and the Arcadia II, the only Huon pine-built river cruiser still operating in the world, sails downstream to wild Pieman Heads. It's also worth grabbing one of Corinna's kayaks and paddling downstream to quixotic Lover's Falls and over the top of the sunken steamship SS Croydon, claimed as Australia's furthest-inland shipwreck.
