From here we continue on to Tullah the gateway to the Tarkine, here the scenery transitions into a wilderness of untamed beauty. Arriving at Tullah, we enjoy a short lakeside walk, meandering past the tranquil shores of beautiful Lake Rosebery. With each step, the symphony of nature crescendos – the rustle of leaves, the gentle ripple of water, and the distant call of native birds. As the sun sets, the Lakeside Lodge emerges like a sanctuary amidst the wilderness, promising a night of serenity. We spend the night at the charming Tullah Lakeside Lodge.

From here we head north to the coastline to do a section of the ‘Tarkine Coast Track’. This Coastline is one of the world’s wildest and most spectacular stretches of coastline. Looking out to sea, you would need to travel 2/3 of the entire globe before you reached land again in South America. This spot is like nothing you have ever seen; marvel at the huge surf driven by the roaring 40s, coastal meadows and rocky headlands. Sea eagles, Tasmanian Devils, wombats and seabirds all make this wild coastline their home. Late afternoon we return to our accommodation at the Corinna Wilderness Lodge for a relaxing dinner in the Tannin Restaurant and to chat about today’s adventures.
