The Tarkine (Indigenous name: takayna), officially takayna / the Tarkine,[2] is an area containing the Savage River National Park in the north west Tasmania, Australia, which contains significant areas of wilderness.[3] The Tarkine is noted for its beauty and natural values, containing the largest area of Gondwanan cool-temperate rainforest in Australia,[4] as well as for its prominence in Tasmania's early mining history.[5][6][7][8] The area's high concentration of Aboriginal sites has led to it being described by the Australian Heritage Council as "one of the world's great archaeological regions".[9]
