The relatively vast upper part of western Tasmania has long been known by conservation movements as The Tarkine - "The Forgotten Wilderness".  The area can loosely be defined as the area between the Arthur and Pieman River heads and Port Macquarie on the West Coast, inland to the Murchison Highway from Burnie to Queenstown.  The area contains an abundance of natural attractions including one of the worlds largest tracts of untouched Rainforest.  The Savage River National Park has seen a small part of it protected - although a great deal of the Park consists of bare-top hills..

 

The controversial clear felling of native forests in this area is well documented by the Australian Conservation Foundation:
