About This Tour

Welcome to the Australian Geographic exclusive Tarkine Photography Workshop with Cameron Blake.

Join us on this breathtaking photography tour into the wilderness of the Tarkine and improve your skills in photographing wildlife, nature, and stunning landscapes.

This tour is for beginners, intermediate, and professional photographers alike.

The Tarkine Wilderness is a place that must be seen to be believed. It consists of entirely untouched, cool temperate rainforests and the wild and rugged west coast of Tasmania. It's a place of mystery and incredible beauty.

Within the Tarkine region, you also have an array of untamed wild rivers, coastal heathlands, and incredible cave systems - all this inside a 447,000 hectare region. For 5 days, we will immerse ourselves in this wilderness. Daily photography tuition will give you a great understanding of how to capture nature at its best.

Itinerary

We will pick you up in Launceston around 10 am (airport or CBD). Transfer to the Takayna/Tarkine via the scenic Bass Hwy, passing the seaside towns of Wynyard and Stanley, where we will stop in for lunch at Marley’s Cafe. Afterwards, check into your accommodation at Tall Timbers in Smithton. After check-in, we will head into Trowutta Arch for our first photography session, during which you will come face to face with an ancient forest, fungi, and a sinkhole. We head back for a scrumptious dinner at Tall Timbers before retiring for the evening.

Day two begins with a sunrise at the Stanley foreshore, as the sun rises alongside the Nut. Afterwards, we will enjoy a hearty breakfast at the lovely Marley’s Cafe in Stanley before we pack up and head into the forest for our first full day of photography. Today will be filled with stunning cool temperate rainforest, the largest in the southern hemisphere, as we walk through the Julius River and Lake Chisholm reserves, admiring the towering trees and the beautiful ferns of the forest floors. After lunch in the forest, we will head further into the woods to explore the breathtaking milkshake hills. Dinner will be at the Tall Timbers restaurant before retiring on the first day.

Get up early for breakfast at Marley’s before heading to the Southern region of the Takayna/Tarkine, where we will explore the old mining township of Corinna before boarding the Arcadia III for a relaxing yet photographically rich cruise up the Pieman River to the Pieman Heads, where the river meets the ocean at the Edge of the World. Venture back via the Western Explorer Road for a sunset shoot at some of Takayna’s/Tarkine's ancient towering coastal formations. After sunset, we will return for dinner at Tall Timbers and retire for the evening.

Enjoy the sunrise photography session, where you can take in the beautiful scenes of the Nut in Stanley. Breakfast will be at Marley’s before we head off to explore the rugged coastline of the Tarkine, where we will spend the day enraptured by the views. Sunset will be at the imposing and stunning Sarah Anne Rocks. Places we visit today are Arthur River and the Edge of the World, Sarah Anne Rocks, Marrawah Greens Beach, and the West Point coastal region. We will enjoy a nice dinner at the Marrawah Pub before returning to our accommodation for the night.

For our final morning, we will visit the convict ruins and Highfield House area in Stanley. We will have breakfast at Marley’s. We will then check out of Tall Timbers and head back to Launceston via the spectacular Dip Falls and the Big Tree Forest Reserve. This will be our last photo session of the trip.
