I am not sure what it is about the Northwest of Tassie but having lived on the East Coast in Coles Bay, I find myself mesmerised by the Northwest. Pristine white sandy beaches and the Hazards have given way to temperate native forests, giant trees, and rivers. I believe this partly might have to do with my concern for climate change, deforestation, and the protests I have witnessed outside parliament house, but I think more importantly it’s also because of my newfound appreciation for giant trees and conservation. I seem to always be on the lookout for these ‘big Tasmanian beasts’ when I go for a drive anywhere outside Hobart city.
