Waves, propelled by winds unimpeded by any land mass between South America and Tasmania, roll onto the wild takayna coast.
The cleanest air in the world, as measured by the nearby UN monitoring station, blows across its expansive dune fields and into the forests.
These magnificent forests and rivers are home to many rare and endangered species.
This includes the Tasmanian Devil, Tasmanian Masked Owl and the world’s largest freshwater invertebrate, the Giant Tasmanian Freshwater Crayfish.
