Tarkine Trip (first timer)

[tomkilla1]

Hi there,

A few friends and I are planning to visit the Tarkine next week for a two nighter. We have never been to the area and hope to gain information from those that have spent time in the rainforest. As a new member i am unable to PM anyone therefore would appreciate if knowledgeable members could contact me, perhaps by email with information on reaching the Tarkine Falls and Heaven. (trip notes and map would be brilliant)

Thanks

Tom

Let me know how you go Tom.

I have a couple of weeks off mid March and plan to do some exploring out that way so would appreciate your insights. Heck if you end up delaying things, drop me a line and I'll tag along!

Hi there, i appreciate your replies. i have seen a few older posts mentioning the tracks but have been unable to find specific information as to where we actually park (road name, etc) can anyone give us directions to find this?

Cheers

Tom

Based on tidas post oct2011, the carpark is at Farquars Bridge across Arthur River.

Farquars Bridge is a gated bridge, you can cross it but you need to climb the locked gates at each end. There is not really much of a car park there, but you should be fine if you park well to the side so as not to obstruct the possible mining vehicles that use the bridge.

Do you have a plan for your trip yet?

Walked in the area early this year. No mining vehicles were seen beyond Farquars Bridge.
