Highlights

• The last Tasmanian Tiger to be caught in Tasmania was in the Florentine Valley.
• The South West World Heritage Area comprises 1.38 million hectares of pristine wilderness
• Lake Pedder and Lake Gordon hold 27 times the volume of water contained in Sydney Harbour. It is the largest inland freshwater storage in Australia.
• The Styx Valley has Giant Trees over 86 metres tall
• The tallest commercial abseil in Australia can be found at the Gordon Dam.
• The Junee Cave is part of the deepest limestone cave system in Australia. The Junee River flows underground to the cave from Mount Field and emerges as a waterfall in the Junee Cave and then cascades down to join the Tyenna River.
• The Tyenna River is mooted to be the best Trout River in Australia. We can put you in touch with a local fishing guide who also hires out waders and equipment in the season and can offer lessons to the new angler.
• Platypus abound in the Tyenna River as well as in our lake and ponds, with sightings almost guaranteed. (Platypus hibernate during winter).
