I do love my work. But neither my profession, nor my career, has anything to do with luck. My life, and my mindset, changed forever the day, as a boy, I was taken out to Hartz Mountain. From the summit, I saw a magical landscape that most Tasmanians didn’t know existed. For me, that moment started an obsession with wild places, and a desire to capture the drama they evoke on film. To the west, the magnificent jagged silhouette of Federation Peak dominated the skyline, and to the south, Precipitous Bluff rose sheer for 4000 feet out of the valley. Beyond that lay the south-west coast. I started bushwalking regularly after that, and bought my first camera. In 1965, I attended mountaineering school at Mount Cook on the Tasman Glacier, and in 1969, I was selected to travel to Peru as a member of Australia’s first Andean Expedition. The hardships and successes of the Andean Expedition taught me that I could achieve anything that I wanted.

    Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature

    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

Unless otherwise specified, this plan adopts the interpretation of terms given in the National Parks and Reserves Management Act 2002. The term ‘Minister’ when used in the plan means the Minister administering this Act. The terms ‘park’ and ‘national park’ refer to the Tasman National Park. In accordance with Section 30(1) of the National Parks and Reserves Management Act 2002, the managing authority for the park, in this case the Director of National Parks and Wildlife, shall carry out duties in relation to the park for the purpose of giving effect to, and in accordance with the provisions of, this management plan. The term ‘Director’ when used in the plan means the Director of National Parks and Wildlife. The appendices do not form part of the statutory plan, but are provided as additional information to assist in management. The draft management plan altering the 2001 plan was released for public comment from 2 February to 11 March 2008. The Resource Planning and Development Commission reviewed public comments on the plan and the Director’s report on proposed responses to those comments and provided a report to the Minister in June 2009.

    The Three Capes Paddle

    AUSTRALIA Tasmania The Three Capes Paddle Four day trip Australia: 4-day Tasmania-The Three Capes Paddle • 1 Tasman Peninsula - The Three Capes Paddle Four day trip-four days kayaking The Tasman Peninsula is very nearly an island, being surrounded by the Tasman Sea to the south and east, Storm Bay to the west and to the north by Norfolk Bay but connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus. The coastline, largely covered by national park, is made up of spectacular dolerite cliffs, beautiful sandy beaches and sheltered bays, making it an ideal paddling destination. We’ll encounter an abundance of fora and fauna, both on the water and on short but spectacular hikes. Our base is a beachside private lodge built for peace, privacy and comfort. Join us on a Tassie escape with four wonderful days exploring the diversity of the Peninsula’s cultural and natural landscapes. A Quick Itinerary B = Breakfast • L = Lunch • D = Dinner Day 1: Pick up from Hobart. Paddle to Lime Bay. Lodge accommodation. L • D Days 2–3: Exploring the spectacular coastline of the Tasman Peninsula. Lodge accommodation. B • L • D Day 4: Kayak and hike. Transfer to Hobart. End of trip arrangements. B • L Meeting Place and Time We’ll pick you up from your Hobart accommodation on the morning of Day 1 (time will be confrmed closer to trip departure) for the two hour drive to Lime Bay coastal reserve where we begin the paddle adventure. Sea Kayaking Sea kayaking is an activity that any reasonably ft person can participate in and could be compared to brisk walking or cycling.
