Twisted Sister Tasmanian Giant Tree | Big Tree State

Signposted walk 20 Minutes from Maydena Gordon River Road Twisted Sister is a short easy trail that takes you into some quintessential Tasmanian mossy big tree forest. Pools of light illuminate the vivid greens of the ferns and moss of the understory. Overhead the intact crows of a dominant Eucalyptus obliqua forest rise high above the temperate rainforest species. This was the site of a years-long protest camp to prevent the logging of the forest. This protest was fundamental in achieving protection and subsequent World Heritage Status for large areas of the Florentine, Styx and Tyenna Valleys.
