Unmissable short walk for visitors to Tasmania who have not experienced the majesty of the Eucalyptus regnans - the "forest giants" It is also a lovely walk for anyone wanting to enjoy the solace of the rainforest and wild Styx river.
Many people visit Tasmania to witness one of the last, truly wild places on earth. A visit to the Southern Forests of Tasmania allows you a glimpse of some of the tallest and biggest trees in the Southern Hemisphere. One of the best places to see some of Tasmania’s largest trees is the Styx Tall Trees Conservation Area. If you’re visiting the area to see some of the largest Tasmanian giant trees on a short walk, I’d recommend stopping by the Styx Tall Trees Walk (Styx Big Tree Reserve). This area is incredibly beautiful and one of the world’s most carbon-dense forests. The canopy reaches over 90 metres and shadows a lush understorey of myrtles, man ferns and vibrant Tasmanian shrubs. The lifeline to this biodiverse forest is the Styx River, which runs a dark-red colour and delivers nutrients to the forest. If you’ve visited Mount Field and you were impressed by the beauty of the forest, do yourself a favour and check out the Styx. This is a beautiful representation of ancient growth forests in Tasmania that is much wilder than Mount Field National Park.
