Our recording location - the Julius River in the Tarkine rainforestThe river flows through ancient mytle beech and tree fern forest...... over shallow rapids and into deep pools forming slow eddiesThe Tarkine rainforest has Gondwanan origins <br>possibly dating back over a hundred million years,... and is the second largest temperate rainforest in the worldTree ferns overhang still pools...... and form a midstory in the forest uphillPink Robin, a distinctive voice which can be heard intermittently on this recordingSometimes the vegtation forms a shady, dense tangle...... while in other places the forest floor is quite open <br>with giant trees soaring upward, their trunks covered in mosses The loud clanging calls of Black Currawongs are a signature sound of the Tasmanian forestsThe river provides some lovely spots...... for quiet reflectionA diminutive Tasmanian ThornbillThe water changes its sonic character at every bend and set of rapidsOn location.
