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.
