Savage River

Savage River, located on Tasmania's northwest coast, is a remote mining village established in the 1960s. The area is renowned for the Savage River National Park, which encompasses the largest undisturbed temperate rainforest in Australia. This pristine wilderness features deep ravines, river gorges, and diverse ecosystems, including myrtle beech rainforests and buttongrass moorlands. The park is home to unique wildlife such as the Tasmanian devil, dusky antechinus, and giant freshwater crayfish. Access to the park is limited, with no roads or facilities, preserving its untouched natural beauty.
