The Tarkine/Takayna Wilderness Corinna is an expansive, unspoiled wilderness in Tasmania that offers visitors the chance to explore its temperate rainforest and rugged coastline.
The area is filled with towering mountains, wild rivers, button grass, and a variety of native animals.
In the Tarkine/Takayna Wilderness Corinna, visitors can see a wide range of animals, including the Tasmanian Devil, spotted-tailed quoll, and eastern quoll. There are also opportunities to spot platypus, echidna, wombat, bandicoot, possum, and glider. Bird enthusiasts can enjoy over one hundred bird species, including the threatened Orange-bellied Parrot.
Visitors can embark on forest and beach adventures starting from Arthur River, which is also home to the iconic Edge of the World location. Canoe, kayak, and riverboat cruises are available for exploring the waterways surrounded by blackwood, myrtle, and celery top pine forests.
For those seeking a challenge, there are several walking trails to explore from Arthur River, such as the Celery Top Pine Nature Trail and the Balfour Track Rainforest Walk. The Western Explorer Touring Route leads to the small settlement of Corinna on the Pieman River, where visitors can take a Fat Man punt to cross the river and continue their journey south. The Pieman River offers cruises and canoe hire, while the road to Savage River and the township of Waratah provides scenic walks with views over the northwest corner of the Tarkine wilderness.
The Tarkine/Takayna Wilderness Corinna can be visited throughout the year, although the weather is more unpredictable during the winter months
