Tall Timbers Tasmania
Arthur River
ARTHUR RIVER & THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

Edge Of The World
The only river in Tasmania which is completely wild – it has never been logged, dammed, or blackened by fire through the rainforest in more than 600 years.
Cruises along the Arthur River are widely acknowledged as one of the most beautiful river journeys available in Tasmania. The rainforest area can only be reached via the river and is home to a plethora of Leatherwoods, Myrtles, Laurels, Celery Top Pine, Sassafras, Blackwood, Tasmanian Oaks and giant tree ferns.
Marrawah is also fantastic for surfing. National surfing events have been held at Marrawah over recent years and the beach is less than an hour’s drive from your accommodation at Tall Timbers in Smithton. This area is enjoyed by locals, and is increasing in popularity with visitors who appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
The Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area is also a great location for recreational activities such as camping, diving, off-road driving, and fishing with easy access to the river, sand dunes and long sandy beaches. Hire a canoe or dinghy from the local Arthur River Canoe and Boat hire – and take a trip up the river at your leisure. A drivers licence, registration and permit are required to drive off road vehicles in this area. Contact the Parks & Wildlife Service for information on the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area.
Head west on the Bass Highway from the Spirit of Tasmania, and Launceston, Devonport or Burnie Airports to experience this magical part of the world.
