Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park is part of the Tasmania Wilderness World Heritage Area and is renowned for its untouched nature and stunning scenery. Encompassing rugged mountains, deep valleys, and powerful rivers, the park represents one of the last true wild areas on Earth. Its network of rivers includes the mighty Franklin River, which is famous for its white-water rafting opportunities. The park is also home to significant biodiversity, with many rare and endemic species of flora and fauna. Historically, the area has cultural significance for the Indigenous Tasmanian people, and in more recent history, it gained attention due to conservation campaigns to protect it from dam development. With ample opportunities for hiking, exploring ancient rainforests, and discovering remote waterfalls, the park appeals to those seeking wilderness adventures and peaceful retreats amidst nature.
