Julius River Regional Reserve

Julius River Regional Reserve is a remote wilderness area located in Tasmania's northwest, approximately 30 kilometers southwest of Burnie. The reserve is renowned for its pristine temperate rainforests, which are among the few remaining cool-climate rainforests in Australia. These ancient rainforests provide a haven for a diverse range of flora and fauna, including species such as the eastern barred bandicoot and the endangered forty-spotted pardalote.

The reserve is characterized by deep ravines, river gorges, and steep mountain ranges, creating a rugged and untouched landscape. The lack of roads and facilities within the reserve has preserved its wilderness character, making it a destination for those seeking solitude and natural beauty. Visitors can explore the surrounding areas to catch glimpses of the unique rainforest ecosystems.

Access to Julius River Regional Reserve is limited due to its remote location and the absence of developed infrastructure. Visitors are encouraged to plan their trips carefully, ensuring they are well-prepared for the conditions and aware of the challenges associated with accessing such a pristine environment. As with all natural reserves, it's important to respect the environment and adhere to any guidelines or regulations in place to protect the area's natural and cultural values.
