Our natural beauty has long attracted visitors to Tasmania. " Nature-based tourism now significantly contributes to the state’s economy and, undeniably, there’s merit in the alternatives it offers to the more destructive mining and logging industries." says Elspeth Callender in Australian Geographic. However "... economically driven tourism-related decisions could be jeopardising the natural and cultural values of the island’s protected areas."

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has said it will direct electricity generators to avoid shortfalls. However, the electricity generation crisis across SE Australia continues. Off grid systems such as at Huon Bush Retreats and Buttongrass Retreat in southern Tasmania are immune from such grid related issues.

Be sure to visit some big trees when you visit The Valley in southern . Stay a few nights in a self contained eco cabin or luxury BnB. More info at https://www.huonvalleyescapes.net/accommodation.html

WHOPPER BUT CACTUS. Why do we love Tasmania’s big trees? Because we have so few left and we keep loosing them to fire and logging. We regularly see people sharing historical photos of big burnt dead trees in Victoria. The sad thing is that in Tasmania we’re loosing our giants now, not 100 years ago.

We just hope that by sharing the big tree love with you that you too might be as inspired as we are by them. If people know and care the more hearts, minds and hands there are to protect them.

We’re off to climb a 92ish metre tree about 800m from this one on the weekend. A bit excited because it’s one of just a handful of trees that tall that still has a healthy top. We’ll drop a tape and wrap it to get the volume. There is a good chance that it’ll be a very rare specimen to both be 85m+ and 280m3. We’ll also do a photogrammetry scan of the tree and creat a 3D model of it to validate our tape measurements, also cos it’s cool.

TASMANIA THE BIG TREE STATE 🇦🇺🌲✊
When you coming for a visit?
