Well Sally that's a bit different to over here. We have a hellava battle to even take a dead tree.

The Tasmanian wilderness is absolutely breathtaking - I saw it for the first time about 2 years ago and it changed forever the way I garden - I had never seen a cool climate rainforest before.

It is unbelievable that it is still logged - it truly has to be the most beautiful place on earth. My sister and I took a boat trip up the Gordon River last year and, oh wow ... words failed me then and they fail me now. In June we're heading back for more exploration.
