takayna/Tarkine

The takayna/Tarkine region of north western Tasmania is home to one of the last undisturbed tracts of Gondwanan rainforest in the world and a place where Tasmanian Aboriginal people have a continuing relationship with the land. The coastline is a cultural heritage landscape, with an abundance of high density living sites including midden deposits, hut depressions, petroglyphs, and known burial sites – all evidence of the continuous occupation of the land by Tasmanian Aboriginal people.

We respectfully acknowledge the palawa people as the Traditional Owners and ongoing custodians of lutruwita/Tasmania, pay tribute to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and give respect to the Elders past, present and emerging.
