Slide into the Tarkine…

The Tarkine in Tasmania’s north west is a place of pristine natural beauty and the gateway to the edge of the world. Featuring vast rainforests, towering trees, buttongrass plains and wild rushing rivers, there are few places in the world that can match the Tarkine’s beauty.

Tarkine Forest Adventures is located at Dismal Swamp, which contrary to its name, is a place of beauty. It is the site of the largest sinkhole in the Southern Hemisphere and is surrounded by incredible scenery and an ancient blackwood forest that is home to some especially-adapted animals.

Tarkine Forest Adventures enters an exciting new phase when the site becomes available for full and half day hire for private groups. The stunning architecturally designed building, set amongst this beautiful blackwood forest is a unique setting for a variety of events and functons and can be tailored to suit most budgets.
